Using Sport to Enhance Positive Outcomes for Young People in the Context of Serious Youth Violence: Making Referrals

This webinar will introduce a new referral guidance and toolkit designed to support Locally Trusted Organisations (LTOs) and referral agencies working with young people at risk of, or already involved in, offending behaviour, including serious youth violence.

The session will explore:

• What good-quality sport interventions look like
• Which types of sport-based interventions are most appropriate for different young people
• How effective referral pathways and coordinated referral systems operate
• Information required to make successful referrals
• What referral agencies should consider when assessing sport provision
• Supporting engagement, monitoring and evaluation throughout the referral journey

The toolkit is informed by the latest academic evidence and learning from a series of research and evaluation programmes undertaken by Loughborough University and StreetGames.
