The power of storytelling, offender narrative and empathy
|
| |
|
| |
|
“The need to prioritise relationships over the application of “expert fixes” was evident in the findings of the recent HMI Probation report on desistance and young people.
Indeed, as Dame Glenys Stacey said recently, a “trusting, open and collaborative relationship with a YOT worker or other professional” is not “rocket science” but hugely crucial if offending is to be prevented.
However it must be recognised that not all youth offending service workers can achieve the aim of building empathic and authentic relationships for various reasons. Some of these reasons include diminishing resources, existing cultural challenges with some staff not seeing it as “core” business, procedural and bureaucratic systems and “box-ticking” tasks hindering engagement between workers and children."

Government to trial 'Staying Close' for children leaving residential care
|
| |
|
| |
|
The government is to pilot a scheme to enable young people leaving residential care to live near to, and retain links with, their children’s homes.
Called Staying Close, the scheme stops short of offering those in residential care the same right to stay in care until they are 21 as those in foster care receive under Staying Put arrangements.
However, Education Secretary Nicky Morgan has pledged the scheme will mean “care leavers will no longer have to face life’s milestones alone – be it applying for university, getting a job or finding their first home”.
Funding from the Department for Education's Children's Social Care Innovation programme will be used to pilot models of Staying Close, children’s minister Edward Timpson has confirmed in a written statement to parliament.

Exceeding fundraising targets: how Youth Music doubled its income in 2015
|
| |
|
| |
|
“Although fundraising has been important, it hadn’t always been a main priority. But by the time I joined the charity two years ago, it had become clear that there was a vital, pressing need to do more fundraising.
Cuts to youth services meant the most vulnerable young people, including those with difficult family lives, mental health issues or disabilities, were increasingly missing out on essential support."

A view from across the pond | Clint Randles on why 'music lessons need to keep up with the times'
|
| |
|
| |
|
"Some 150 years ago, if you wanted to listen to music, you would have to perform it yourself or be in the presence of musicians. Since then, people have engaged in an endless array of musical endeavors that have been recorded. In fact, the ability to record music has shifted our musical experience – from both a maker and a consumer perspective.
The question is: has students’ learning kept pace with these changes that started happening more than a century ago? Or, is it way past time for music education to undergo a metamorphosis of sorts, as some scholars have suggested?"

RESOURCE: Ofsted Social Care Annual Report 2016 published
|
| |
|
| |
|
"The children who come to the attention of social care are the most vulnerable in our society. They deserve the highest standards, and yet there is still too much provision that is inadequate. Children’s needs must be assessed properly, and help when needed must be swift. When this does not happen, children are left exposed to harm."

Outdoor pursuits: finding audiences for outdoor arts
|
| |
|
| |
|
The Audience Agency has recently completed a large-scale study into outdoor arts. Working in partnership with the Independent Street Arts Network and other organisations and consortia such as Xtrax, Without Walls, and Global Streets, we collected 30,000 surveys over three years, drawing data from over 40 arts organisations.
The findings are both fascinating and exciting. One of the most important findings is that outdoor arts consistently attract an audience that is representative of the population as a whole.
