Monitoring and evaluationThe project’s progress is monitored by its partnerorganisations, the advisory group and the youngpeople’s steering group to ensure it meets itsobjectives.Young people are actively involved in all aspectsof monitoring and evaluation.The training package will be piloted, reviewedand amended throughout its delivery to ensureits effectiveness.Young people have designed feedback formsfor trainees on the relevance of trainingmaterial, quality of trainers and usefulness of theinformation, and changes may be made based onthis feedback.How the project addresses gaps in localservice provisionThe gap in young people’s participation indelivering training was clearly identified in YouthCrisis I. The methods used in the project, whichare all young people-led, aim to improve the wayservices are provided and how they respond toyoung people’s needs.Barriers and constraints which impedeeffective provisionThere is no established formal structure outside theproject for young people to have a voice on thetypes of services available to them and how thoseservices are delivered. This can lead to young peoplefeeling alienated from services and falling throughthe gaps.Current funding runs until February 2008 and furtherfunding is now being sought so that the project cancontinue. There are a significant number of ideas onhow this training can be taken forward in the future,such as working in schools.ContactsExperience in Mind projectMind in Brighton & Hove79 Buckingham RoadBrighton, BN1 3RJTelephone: 01273 749600Website: www.mindcharity.co.uk
