Respect doesn't work directly with young people and families. We work with professionals who are supporting young people who are using violence and abuse. We provide comprehensive training, implementation materials and on-going support to practitioners who have undertaken our training.
RYPP Implementation Training
The package includes guidance in relation to implementation of the programme; 4 days training for up to 16 people; delivery manual for each participant; handouts and access to the resources needed to deliver the programme.
The Respect Young Peoples Programme (RYPP) is recognised by the Youth Justice Board Effective Practice Unit and is currently delivered across an increasing number of Local Authorities and Police Crime Commissioner areas in England.
Outcome measurement and analysis for RYPP
Respect recommends that Strength and Difficulties Questionnaires (SDQs) are undertaken pre and post intervention by the children/adolescents and their parents/carers who undertake the RYPP.
The SDQs give a multi-dimensional picture of the needs and issues faced by the young person and identify any change over the of the course of the intervention.
SDQs are well validated and used extensively, providing a reference to the general population, comparisons with other interventions and where benchmarking with other RYPP providers is required.
In addition, the Warwick Edinburgh Well-being Scale is helpful to assess changes for parents over the course of the RYPP. A significant proportion (around 30%) of parents who access the RYPP also experience difficulties, specifically reporting anxiety and depression.
These examples of outcome measures alongside risk profiles and service user feedback provide an effective basis to understand the impact of the service and enable informed decisions to be made regarding the need for future provision.
Respect can support by undertaking the analysis of the data and providing reports on outcomes.
Training for Police Officers responding to CAPVA
This session is designed to support police officers to explore their perception of CAPVA, understand the risks and look at a range of policing responses that have proved effective in responding to this increasing common form of domestic abuse. This is live online via the Zoom platform ½ day training for around 30 officers per session.
The Early Response and Police training can be adapted to include local data, case studies or reference to local incidents if appropriate and provided in advance to our training team.
