This research was funded by the Big Lottery Fund and we are very grateful for all the
assistance and support they provided over the three years of the project. Our great
thanks go to the members of our young people’s advisory group, who worked with us
on all aspects of the research from the beginning of the project until completion; their
contribution cannot be overstated. We also express our appreciation for the support
and advice provided by members of the adult advisory group and especially Donna
Chung and Nicky Stanley for reviewing the final report on our behalf. We would also
like to thank Annabel Lander for her administrative support and help over the
duration of the research. We are grateful to Demi Patsios, Marsha Wood and Dinithi
Wijedasa for assisting with the statistical analysis. Any omissions or limitations in the
research and this report of course remain our responsibility.
