Abstract: |
This review examines what works in increasing the engagement of young people in positive activities. It is based on a literature review involving systematic searching, analysis of key data, validated local practice examples and views from service users and providers. The review summarises the best available evidence that will help service providers to improve services and, ultimately, outcomes for children, young people and their families. Findings suggest that around three-quarters of all young people participate in some form of positive activities. The most common form of activity is sport and physical activity. There is little difference in terms of participation rates by gender, but far fewer young people from lower-income families or from rural areas participate in activities. Barriers to participation include: poor access to information about what is available and how to access it; parental attitudes; the influence of friends and peers; internal factors; and practical factors such as time, transport and cost. |
