Golden, Bielby, O'Donnell, Morris & Walker (NFER) and Maguire (University of Warwick), for the Department for Children, Schools and Families · 2008 · Independent evaluation

Final report of the government-commissioned evaluation of two funds worth £115 million, given to every local authority in England from 2006, in which panels of young people decided on applications made by other young people aged 13 to 19. Draws on case studies in 12 authorities, a telephone survey of managers in 129 authorities and a questionnaire to 323 young people and adults. Covers how panels were set up, trained and supported, what was funded, outcomes for panel members and lessons learned. The funds have since ended.
