STATUS Toolkit
The STATUS Toolkit was developed based on comprehensive research, which revealed that the participation, engagement, and retention of Travellers were critical factors impacting the effectiveness of youth services throughout Ireland. The research highlighted significant challenges in these areas, underscoring the need for a structured approach to address them.
In response, the STATUS Toolkit was designed to offer a systematic and evidence-based framework for establishing "Organisational Best Practices" within youth services. Its primary goal is to enhance the involvement and sustained participation of Traveller youth in various programs and services. By implementing the Toolkit, organisations can better address the unique needs and barriers faced by Traveller communities, leading to more effective and inclusive youth engagement strategies.
The Toolkit provides practical guidelines, strategies, and resources aimed at improving how youth services interact with and support Traveller young people. It focuses on fostering meaningful participation, increasing retention rates, and ensuring that Traveller youth have equitable access to opportunities. Through its structured approach, the STATUS Toolkit helps organisations create a more welcoming and responsive environment, ultimately contributing to more successful and impactful youth services across Ireland.
