The longer-term impact of creative partnerships on the attainment of young people: results from 2005 and 2006
Creative Partnerships is the Government’s creative learning programme, designed to develop the skills of young people across England, raising their aspirations and achievements, and opening up more opportunities for their futures. Between Autumn 2002 and Summer 2004, NFER conducted a programme-level evaluation of Creative Partnerships, focusing on measuring changes in self-confidence, self-esteem and attitudes to learning amongst young people who took part in Creative Partnerships activity. A later study examined the relationship between attendance at Creative Partnership schools and activities and national assessment results, for young people reaching the end of key stages 2, 3 or 4 (i.e. those young people in Years 6, 9 or 11) in 2003 and 2004. The study indicated some small but statistically significant positive associations between attending Creative Partnership activities and attainment.

Non-formal learning: good practice in re-engaging young people who are NEET
The Local Government Association (LGA) commissioned the NFER working with the National Youth Agency (NYA) to conduct a research study aimed at examining good practice in the provision of non-formal learning aimed at re-engaging young people aged 16-18 who are NEET. The research involved visits to eight projects, which had been identified by Connexions, local authority and other contacts as exhibiting good practice in such provision. Interviews with 16 projects workers and 12 project participants were used to explore the key principles of good practice in re-engaging young people who are NEET through non-formal learning approaches, which are presented in a guidance document aimed at developing and commissioning non-formal learning programmes.

Youth Tracker, Issue 1
Young people growing up in Britain today are more technology literate than ever before, and are exposed to an increasingly globalised world with, in theory at least, a wealth of opportunities. But for those living in our most disadvantaged communities in particular, finding a path to a solid future can be very challenging, especially in these difficult economic times.

Towards a Popular, Preventative Youth Justice System
In 1998 Labour made significant reforms to the youth justice system. A decade later, these have yet to deliver a system which puts crime reduction at its heart. This failure to reduce offending derives at least partly from a determination to bring more offences to justice. This in turn seems to be rooted in the belief, widespread among the public, that the answer is a more punitive approach to offending.
