WHY use NATnIMP?

  • identify need,
  • improve services,
  • prove success of interventions,
  • show how well services meet LGBT young people's needs,
  • influence local strategies,
  • influence mainstream and specialist service provision,
  • help access funding, and
  • help gather evidence to influence national strategy.

 

Reducing Vulnerability
Data, from both the NAT and the IMP shows that GALYIC interventions help to reduce levels of:

  • Hopelessness
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Self harm
  • Suicide attempts
  • Homelessness
  • Isolation

and improve the self-esteem of members.

Improving Services
The results have been presented to Calderdale Children's Trust who responded by sending a letter out to strategic partnerships asking them to report back to the Trust by January 2010 on what actions they have taken in view of the findings in the report.  Thus, the needs of LGBT young people in Calderdale are starting to be identified within the various local strategies, e.g. anti-bullying, homelessness, suicide prevention, parenting, etc.

Accessing Funding
GALYIC have also used the findings to successfully acquire funding from BBC Children in Need to recruit a Crisis Intervention and Support Worker.
 

Local authorities, Primary Care Trusts, providers and commissioners of services, all must take account of the needs of young people in their area, including  LGBT young people.  
We need to keep up to date with the needs of LGBT young people

In 2005, the Needs Assessment Tool (NAT) was developed.  It is an holistic approach and includes questions about:
coming out, school, hate incidents, homelessness, mental health, alcohol, drugs and smoking, sexual health, isolation and support.
