-
Developing
a Decision Point 2 straw model
The straw model provides an early view of the presentation required for Decision Point 2. It provides focus for the data collection and analysis needed over the Discover and Deepen stages of the change process, and identifies any gaps in the data being collected. It is advisable to organise a review of data by colleagues with analytical expertise prior to Decision Point 2 to ensure its rigour.
-
Conducting
focused interviews and workshops
This is an efficient method of collecting data around the current provision of targeted youth support (TYS).
-
Engaging
young people
Young people are at the core of TYS redesign so their views must be heard and acted upon. Running a workshop is one method of establishing young people's needs and their experiences of current services. Young people should be engaged in different ways throughout the change process.
-
Holding
a multi-agency workshop
This workshop helps service delivery teams from various agencies understand how current service processes are delivering against young people's needs. The workshop includes mapping a young person's journey to find out where multi-agency good practice exists and where there are gaps.
