improved family well-being as a result of the support offered during the intervention

Nevertheless, both children and parents appeared to be well satisfied with the service they received from their local YISP. Most parents felt that YISP intervention had helped their child, and some had clearly received considerable support for themselves. Parents said they would recommend the YISP to others. Children generally felt positive about YISP involvement and particularly enjoyed doing activities. The YISPs were able to address some of the problems relating to home life, and most parents reported an improvement in their child’s behaviour as a result of YISP interventions. Children and young people mostly described the situation at home as having improved.

Evaluierung der Aktivität

The study authors wanted to gather information from all the YISPs about each new referral in a given time period (February 2003 to October 2005). A management information system, known as YISPMIS, had been developed for the YJB for use by the pilots, and the authors were encouraged to use it as the means for data capture for the evaluation. Stripping the data set of these cases reduced it to 1,642 records. The extent of the quantitative analyses undertaken was severely compromised by the poor quality of YISPMIS data. Nevertheless, the quantitative data has been drawn wherever possible, to provide a wider context for the in-depth qualitative work. The in-depth qualitative work provided a rich tapestry of information about how the YISPs operated and about the more subtle impacts on children and parents. Four pilots as case-study sites were selected: Birmingham, Ealing, Lancashire and Nottingham. A range of methods were used to study these, including observations, interviews with professionals, exploratory interviews at different points in time with children and parents, discourse and narrative analysis, and documentary analysis.
