Save Targeted youth support (TYS): 'Discover' activities
The sequence of activities below takes you through the 'Discover' stage. The activities ensure the achievements for 'Discover' are accomplished before moving onto the next stage of the change process.
You can read about how you will know if you have completed this stage successfully on the 'Achievements' page, which links the activities below with specific achievements.
There is also a series of hints and tips from the pathfinders to support you in this part of the change process.
The links below take you to resources for each of the activities.
- 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.
