Space to Think: Lessons and Impact of the IVY Project

The Interventions for Vulnerable Youth (IVY) service was developed and commenced in September 2013, aiming to fill the gap in service provisions for high risk young people. It is a nationwide service designed to meet the needs of a much marginalised and challenging group of young people. The project is funded by the Scottish Government and based in the Centre for Youth and Criminal Justice at the University of Strathclyde. Two years on from the birth of the project, this service evaluation was carried out by the Centre for Youth and Criminal Justice to measure where the project is now and where it will go in the future.
