AIMS: 

Working either one-to-one and/or group work, our Tar Youth Diversion Project supports young people in their personal, civic & social development. 

OUTCOMES: 

Although the individual outcome for each young person varies regarding to individual needs, the general outcomes for young people involved TYDP are: 

• Greater sense of personal worth 
• Improved sense of civic & social involvement 
• Understanding of benefit of educational attachment and/or attainment 
• Increased engagement with pro-social peers 
• Improved use of recreation time 

Positive outcomes in these areas have proven to lead to a reduction in their likelihood of a young person offending/re-offending
