Impact and success

Successfully enhancing young people’s moral and emotional aptitudes and decision-making skills.

Youth Compass challenges young people, teaching them a range of strategies and techniques to help them make positive decisions – enhancing their future.

To inform programme development and demonstrate its positive impact, we are capturing feedback from both the young people and adults involved.

In addition, knowledge exchange meetings with sector colleagues allow us to:

  • include their expertise and ideas into the Youth Compass programme and resources
  • share our research findings and ethos for inclusion in pastoral care policies and staff training
  • raise awareness of the issues involved and the importance of positively shaping young people’s moral and emotion skills

The feedback received from both the young participants and adult facilitators has been encouraging and enormously positive.

Feedback from young people

The young people who have taken part in Youth Compass have told us that…

  • “It was fun and engaging.”
  • “It taught me about the consequences of my actions.”
  • “It made me think differently.”
  • “When I get into a negative spiral, I now know how to get my way out.”
