As an organisation, we have 4 designated safeguarding leads, and all our staff attain a level 2 safeguarding certificate and have undergone safeguarding training so are informed of the approach we must take to deal with any safeguarding concerns. All members of staff attain up-to-date DBS checks. For all our work, we conduct risk assessments that are verified by our designated safeguarding leads who will be on call for the session, from when young people arrive to when young people leave the session. This process is the same for trips, where we also gain consent from parents or carers through a digital form.

Impact: In the short time-frame of this project, Dobre Girls aims to reduce the marginalization of 13-17-year-old young women in Hexthorpe and improve their chances of achieving their ambitions and aspirations. Outcomes: Three Dobre Girls outcomes are identified below, demonstrating growth in aspirations, confidence and life skills. Indicators for these outcomes are suggested in the following section: 1. Young women will be inspired to broaden their ambitions through exposure to strong female role-models throughout the project 2. Young women will report improved self-esteem and increased confidence to pursue their interests and ambitions 3. Young women will be equipped with a set of attitudes and life skills that they feel are relevant to their aspirations Aside from the key intended outcomes outlined above, Dobre Girls will have positive by-products that will make other differences to groups of young women and their wider community: - Firstly, TYAs presence has already shown success in engaging young women on the verge of trouble. One group of girls, whose anti-social behaviour has come to the attention of the police, have been engaging with our youth workers since summer 2018. The team has built relationships with the group and, during the Dobre Girls project, will involve them in trips, activities and potentially accredited work. Decades of experience leads TYA to predict that their attitudes will improve as a result of the project and deter them from involvement in antisocial or risky behaviour. - Secondly, the impact on the girls involved in the project is likely to have a domino effect in the community. Positive stories will spread through word-of-mouth and will reach other young women, hopefully encouraging them to seek TYAs support.
