“We worked closely with colleagues at SERIO for two years on the external evaluation of our Plymouth Pathfinder work. The surveys and interviews, both at the outset and completion of the work resulted in a comprehensive report that proved insightful in identifying the future direction of this work. Collaborating in the way we did enabled us to understand how best to engage with vulnerable young people and the adults they come across in future.’’
