A CASE STUDY IN REDUCING YOUNG OFFENDER RE-OFFENDING THROUGH APPLICATION OF THE MENTAL TOUGHNESS CONCEPT

Our guest, Joanne Taylor (nee Turley), is an early adopter of the 4Cs mental toughness concept and measures, who has led the way in its application with some of the toughest challenges in society.

Joanne is a Co Founder of AQR Consulting, a key partner of AQR, whose remit is focused on providing leadership and talent development programmes to SMEs and organisations of all sizes and types. She was formerly a People & Performance Consultant with ARK Consultancy in the UK which focuses on the social housing sectors and issues associated with that sector Including working with young people who are often at the fringes of society.

One highly successful flagship 3-year project Joanne was involved with while at ARK targeted reducing re-offending by young offenders coming to the end of their sentences. Joanne and her colleagues showed that by creating self-awareness about their mental approach to the changes they face and developing strategies and tactics to manage what they learn, they can look forward positively to a life with better chances.

Talent Match Black Country works in partnership with unemployed young adults, aged 17-29, who have direct experience of offending and those who face disadvantage and are furthest from the labour market, to help them achieve:

· Increased confidence, optimism and resilience.

· Reduced levels and avoidance of re-offending.

· Progress nearer and into sustainable employment.

Joanne has created a body of knowledge and skills working with young people which make a real difference for them and, measurably, for society

There is learning here for all.
