Inclusion Criteria

  • The target population for the intervention is young people aged 11 - 16 years exhibiting a ‘secondary’ level of need (CYP at high risk of becoming involved in violent or non-violent crime, based on the YEF eligibility triangle categorisation).
  • In terms of eligibility, any young person who is attending a PRU will have been excluded from school and is therefore considered to be at high risk of becoming involved in violent or non-violent crime and is eligible to take part in the intervention. The nature of the structure of PRUs means that young people won’t be ‘referred’ to the intervention, instead the whole cohort will be invited to take part in the trial.
  • In addition to recruiting from PRUs, CYP excluded in mainstream (EiM) will be recruited. These are CYP who are managed out with of the normal mainstream school experience in the following ways:
  • in a separate building on the mainstream school site;
  • in a suit of classrooms within the mainstream school;
  • in the same classrooms pupils in normal mainstream education” use but on separate timetables
  • Wherever they are based, all CYP invited to take part in the trial will meet the criteria below:
  • they will be permanently excluded from mainstream and/or have had three or more fixed term exclusions;
  • they will have been identified by the provision as displaying challenging behaviour (this will usually be evidenced through the provision’s behaviour management system);
  • they will be at risk of offending due factors such as:
  • obe living in a neighbourhood with high levels of crime and socio-economic deprivation;
  • ohave experience of trauma or higher number of adverse childhood experiences;
  • ohave siblings, or be associated with peers, who are known to be involved with offending;
  • ohave previously exhibited criminal behaviour or had involvement in youth justice services.

Exclusion Criteria

  • The intervention has no specific exclusion criteria however the SDQ requires a minimum level of literacy and comprehension. DRW wll aim to support any young people with learning difficulties to complete the quesitonaire however if it becomes apparent that they are unable to complete the questionnaire this may lead to them being excluded. The SDQ is available in a range of languages, but based on DRW’s experience, it is not anticipated than any CYP will require a version not in English.
