Practice Example Submission Form
                   This form captures the information necessary for making an example of practice 
                   available via the YJB’s Effective Practice Library and also for classification by the 
                   Effective Practice Classification Panel.  The form has been designed to be as short 
                   as possible, but in order to provide useful information to users of the library about the
                   practice examples featured in it we do require certain key bits of information about 
                   them.
                   Before completing the form, please read the following:
                     There are guidance notes throughout to help you provide the right information 
                      about your example of practice

                   submitting the practice example.  Please also give details of someone who can be 
                   contacted by other youth justice services regarding the submission or by the YJB if

                   organisation as the ‘source organisation’.

                  2. Describing the practice
                  This section is very important because it gives users of the Effective Practice Library, 
                  who might know very little about the practice, a clear idea of what the practice is and 
                  what it aims to do.
                  In order to do this, please frame the information you provide around the following 
                  areas:
                  The title of the submission:
                  This could be the name of the programme, the document, or the name given to a particular local 
                  process.  This will be used for the title of the entry in the Effective Practice Library, so please keep it 
                  concise.
                           
                  What the practice is:
                  Please describe here what the example of practice is (e.g. a programme, a process or a project) and 
                  how it is delivered or operates.  Imagine someone is describing the practice to you – what are the key 
                  things about it that you would want to know? 
                           
                  Who it is for:
                  Please state whether there is a specific target group for the practice, e.g. based on age, sex or other 
                  characteristics.
                           
                  What the intended outcomes are:
                  Please state briefly what the practice aims to achieve, e.g. increased engagement in ETE, improved 
                  parenting skills etc.
                           
                  Any further relevant information:
                  Please provide any relevant information about the practice that you feel is not covered above.
                           
                  Purchase costs involved:
                  Please state whether others are required to purchase the materials relating to the practice or whether 
                  they are free to use.
                  Yes         No 
                  3. What makes it work?
                  Using up to five bullet points, please describe in your view what it is about this example of practice that 
                  makes it effective.  For example, any particular skills of the staff involved, specific local 
                  processes/partnerships or the techniques/methods used. If you have developed a theory of change for 
                  the practice, please include it with your submission.

            submitting practice to the YJB. 
            However, in the absence of any formal evaluation, please explain how and why this practice will deliver 
            the intended outcomes for the youth justice system.
