Young Bristol |
Tell us about the open data, public information, evidence or research that they created or used:
This year Young Bristol have introduced a brand new system called VIEWS to record data and help evidence our impact. Prior to this, data was captured using paper registers and there was no central management system. The charity now records information about their network of youth clubs, land and water based activities, National Citizen Service (NCS) programme and Instructor Training Scheme (ITS). Data on each young person's attendance and involvement with the programmes is recorded along with where they live, their ethnicity and any medical issues or other issues which may affect their behaviour at any given time. Next year Young Bristol will also record key outcomes for young people such as an increase in confidence, self esteem , self efficacy, and resilience as well as an increase in activity levels or healthy eating. They will be able to record these outcomes and track young people's progress throughout the weeks. |
