Evidence-Led Impacts

Proving What We Do Works,
Backed by Real Results

Due to the serious and complex nature of our longer-term intervention work with young people experiencing and engaged in criminal harm and who are seriously stuck, we have created an impact measuring system ‘fit for our intervention practice’ capturing the data that traditional metrics miss. For example, cultural barriers, contextual challenges, and our intensive efforts at street level building trust with young people disengaged with systems. Our Evidence-Led data system is built on real lives and in real time, ensuring that the work we do isn’t just meaningful, it’s measurable and continually advanced.

Being Evidence-Led means we can incorporate research approaches and evidence but also integrate practitioner expertise, experience, context, and allow for more flexibility and tailoring of interventions to individual need and starting points. Not only can this lead to more effective outcomes in complex situations and the specific context of the situation but it also allows for a broader and better-informed interpretation of what constitutes "evidence." For us, our evidence collating is not simply a ‘tick box’ exercise. It's about being transparent, responsible and accountable when nurturing change from the ground up and truly equipping and empowering the young communities we serve.
