Young People Mentoring and Social Inclusion | This paper reports the results of the largest British study of mentoring to date. Built around a longitudinal survey and depth interviews with programme workers and participants, the research sought to measure the impact of a particular group of mentoring programmes. The evidence from the study suggests that the programmes were particularly successful in increasing young people’s involvement in education, training and work, but less successful in reducing offending. |

Youth Offending: Mentoring Interventions | A quarter of known offenders are aged 10-17 years. An unstable family life and educational problems are recognised risk factors. Mentoring schemes can provide an element of stability and support that is often lacking in the lives of these young people. Many mentoring schemes are funded by the Youth Justice Board and are run by the Youth Offending Team or by other statutory and non-statutory agencies and organisations. Mentoring schemes are a cost-effective way of reducing youth offending and give young people the opportunity to spend time with positive adult role models, to gain new skills, improve their self-confidence and become aware of alternatives to criminal activity. |
