This project is a pilot evaluation randomised controlled trial of Face It, a school-based intervention designed and implemented by Khulisa. Face It is specifically designed for young people at risk of offending, exploitation and school exclusion. The programme builds self-awareness and encourages pupils to reflect on the root causes and triggers of their disruptive or challenging behaviour. Khulisa believes that early intervention breaks the school to prison pipeline, which is exacerbated by exclusion, enabling young people to choose a safe and crime-free future. The intervention is delivered over 6 weeks, including an intensive 5-day programme of activities, and pre-programme and post-programme group and 1:1 sessions. Each programme is tailored to participants' needs and uses art, storytelling, 1:1 and group experiential techniques, delivered by trained dramatherapists. The randomised controlled trial will test the programme's feasibility, acceptability, evaluability, mechanisms and outcomes, to determine whether the trial should proceed to a full-scale efficacy trial through quantitative and qualitative data collection.
