Brief Summary:
This project is a pilot evaluation randomised controlled trial of Face It a school-based intervention designed and implemented by Khulisa Face It is specifically designed for young people at risk of offending exploitation and school exclusion The programme builds self-awareness and encourages pupils to reflect on the root causes and triggers of their disruptive or challenging behaviour Khulisa believes that early intervention breaks the school to prison pipeline which is exacerbated by exclusion enabling young people to choose a safe and crime-free future The intervention is delivered over 6 weeks including an intensive 5-day programme of activities and pre-programme and post-programme group and 11 sessions Each programme is tailored to participants needs and uses art storytelling 11 and group experiential techniques delivered by trained dramatherapists
The randomised controlled trial will test the programmes feasibility acceptability evaluability mechanisms and outcomes to determine whether the trial should proceed to a full-scale efficacy trial through quantitative and qualitative data collection

Detailed Description:
Face It is a schools-based intervention developed by Khulisa It is an intensive therapeutic group programme for young people focused on developing social and emotional skills and designed to explore the root causes of emotional distress It combines creative techniques like storytelling art debating and role-play informed by neuroscience
There is strong evidence that social and emotional skills are important for the positive development of children and young people and contribute to a range of important long-term educational economic health social and criminal justice outcomes There is also good evidence that well-designed school-based social and emotional programmes can be effective that they are being successfully implemented in UK schools and can have positive impact on students social and emotional competencies and educational outcomes
The Face It intervention is in its early stages in terms of evidence and evaluation and there is not yet a robust randomised control trial demonstrating that it is effective at improving outcomes for children and young people However Face It indicates early promise as an intervention to improve social and emotional skills The intervention has demonstrated that it can recruit and retain participants and qualitative work indicates that the programme is well-regarded by participants An internal evaluation of the programme conducted by Nesta indicated that Khulisas theory of change highlights relevant outcomes and both quantitative and qualitative insights suggested largely positive changes in the outcomes examined Khulisa is also currently conducting a quasi-experimental study which is scheduled to be completed in the Autumn 2023 These studies collectively show that the intervention shows promise
However the lack of a randomised comparison group in the existing evaluations limits the conclusions that can be made about impact on outcomes for children and young people Before any future full-scale randomised control trial it is important that a small-scale pilot trial is conducted in advance to support and inform this work - to test and improve evaluation procedures such as randomisation and data collection and to generate useful information around sample size determination
