Reflections, refinement and reciprocity - youth voice in the iWill fund
Reflections, refinement and reciprocity - youth voice in the iWill fund

This blog was written by two members of the Young Evaluators Network – Thomas Williams and Irys Chick and contains some of their reflections on how to encourage youth participation in evaluation.

The Young Evaluators Network (YEN) aims to investigate how youth voice practices and disciplines are embedded into the #iwill Fund. The evaluation is conducted by a consortium of organisations - Dartington Service Design Lab, Renaisi-TSIP,YMCA George Williams College, and Ipsos. The work of the YEN is centred around analysing lots of data from #iwill Fund funded projects to better inform youth voice practices, grant-giving, and decision-making processes in the #iwill Fund.

Throughout our partnership with Inclusion as Prevention we’ve engaged with 98 young people to design and improve services, and early intervention for young people with experience of the justice system. It is estimated that a further 300 also participated through surveys and attending workshops. We’ve tackled challenges, overcome barriers, and learned together as a team to understand the system in South Lanarkshire, to ensure young people aren’t just supported when they enter the justice system, but that the services are there to prevent them from doing so.

Incorporating youth voice into systems change in South Lanarkshire

Over the last five years we have been working to change the systems of support for young people who come into conflict with law in Scotland. We’ve been doing that through co-production with young people to re-imagine the kinds of supports that help keep them included in their communities and in the supports on offer to them. Too often young people are excluded from systems of support when they come into conflict with the law. This project fundamentally reframes the work of prevention and early intervention to be young-person centred and inclusive of their diverse experiences and needs.
