Gender-Based Violence Survey: Test of Change Update

Inclusion as Prevention (IAP) is a five-year initiative funded by the National Lottery Community Fund. IAP is a partnership between South Lanarkshire Council, Action for Children, Dartington Service Design Lab and the Children and Young People's Centre for Justice (CYCJ). The focus of IAP is on co-production and collaboration with young people, communities and partners, testing out ways to improve how services can be provided to better meet the needs of children, young people and families. This test of change looking at the impact of gender-based violence is one of ten tests of change being carried out with the support of Inclusion as Prevention. This update report is focused on one aspect of the test, a survey to measure knowledge of and experience of gender-based violence in young people. These survey findings have been fed into a larger piece of work, creating an animation and a workshop that can be used within schools, colleges and youth groups to highlight gender-based violence, help young people recognise the signs, and hopefully result in a safer school, college and community space for children and young people. A later report will document the effectiveness of the workshop aspect of the test of change.
