Systemic Practice and Family Interventions Two-Year Course Evaluation: 2013 to 2015

This report, written by CYCJ’s Research Fellow Nina Vaswani, presents the findings from a two-year evaluation of the Systemic Practice in Family Interventions Course delivered by the Family Therapy Training Network. The course was, in part, funded by the Scottish Government to increase capacity and skills in family therapy among the youth justice workforce, with the aim of supporting young people and families to reduce offending and improve outcomes. Mapping on to Kirkpatrick’s model of training, the evaluation explores participants’ experiences, learning, impact on practice and begins to briefly consider any impact on outcomes.
