WHY use NATnIMP?

  • identify need,
  • improve services,
  • prove success of interventions,
  • show how well services meet LGBT young people's needs,

  • help access funding, and
  • help gather evidence to influence national strategy.

 

Interview details: Once the NAT is completed, a report is produced which can be seen on screen and printed off.  The report is then used to discuss and agree with your client, what their individual action plan should be.  The report will highlight issues that might be included in the individual action plan.

Consolidated details: When a number of NATs have been completed, ReSURV will provide consolidated detail of the percentages of participants who have answered key questions. This will include the percentages who have been depressed, attempted suicide, self-harmed, misuse alcohol or drugs, have been homeless, etc.  This useful data can be fed into local health needs assessments and help with commissioning processes.

Anonymised regional and national reports: We also want to encourage LGBT youth groups and other agencies to contribute data so that it can be used to influence regional and national strategies.  We are very consious of the need for data protection and confidentiallity.   Your group will be need to opt in if you want the data you have collected to be inculded. Your data will not be included if you do not want to opt in.

The data of LGBT youth groups and agencies that opt in will be anonymised before being analysed. What this means is that all reference to your group, and to anything that might identify anyone involved, such as date of birth or school, will be excluded from the analysis. Only then will the analysis be performed and used to create a regional and national picture of need. It will be possible to do this in considerable detail. The greater volume of data will make it possible to identify trends and relationships which would be impossible to spot at the local level.   The results of this analysis will be available to each contributing group, to use in their own ways.   Our aim is to encourage the utilisation of the consolidated analysis in reports and publications that will be capable of influencing regional and national strategies.

 

The NAT shows how young people felt helped by their LGBT group:
"Somewhere safe to hang out" "Able to make friends, better idea about homophobic issues" "It has given me someone to talk to about most things" "Support for me; can pickup phone, get advice, talk"

When the Equality Bill becomes  law in 2010, public sector services will not only have to tackle homophobia but also make sure that their services are meeting the needs of LGBT young people. NATnIMP will help to keep up to date with the needs of LGBT young  people
