Service: Research

Training and Consultancy is often accompanied by research into existing practice. SOVA has conducted research into:-
  • Volunteers within Probation Service
  • Volunteers within Prison
  • Mentoring within educational establishments
  • Mentoring and Youth Justice

SOVA has developed an effective Peer Research methodology by managing projects to recruit, train and support 'disadvantaged' people. The benefit of this approach is that the Peer Researchers gain skills, experience and qualifications (SOVA's Peer Research Training can be accredited by Open College Network).
 
In the past SOVA have trained offenders, care leavers, women in the sex industry, unemployed people and young people disaffected by school to become peer researchers. It has organised consultative focus groups all facilitated by trained Peer Researchers.
