Feedback

Regular feedback from the young people who attend KeepOut workshops, and from the user groups – those professionals who work with young people and who bring groups – helps us to refine, develop and expand our crime diversion programmes.

The frank and revealing views they express are a valuable resource. They help the prisoner teams and KeepOut staff to gain an insight into the impact of the workshops and role plays we deliver. What this feedback shows us is how the experiences gained on the KeepOut programmes help to change attitudes and behaviour, social awareness and responsibility.

We’re told much the same story by the male and female prisoners and ex-offenders who work on the KeepOut teams. Their feedback identifies that they find the scheme challenging and rewarding – that knowing they make a difference in young people’s lives is life changing for them, too.

Our partners and stakeholders – notably Prison Governors – tell us how they value the commitment of KeepOut – The Crime Diversion Scheme and the contribution our work makes towards the resettlement of the prisoners. Funders come to visit workshops and share with us the belief that their money is being well spent.
