Professor Tony Chapman

This three year project was funded by the Department for Education ran from 2007-2011. The research involved an action-based research evaluation of the Youth Achievement Foundation programme which is was managed by UK Youth. The programme combined UK Youth’s Youth Achievement Award and an innovative approach to alternative education provision for young people by 7KS Enterprise College – an independent education provider. The final research report focused on the positive impact of the programme in terms of young people’s attendance, commitment to vocational training and pro-sociality.
