Having a dog in the office brings a surprising amount of well-being to the working environment. We also have no need for a paper shredder so it's environmentally friendly too.
All the elements in a formula have to be spot on and in perfect balance to make the ideal solution. So we take a great model, carefully evolved and honed over many years and deploy it using very talented, highly committed staff. We work hard, learn from our mistakes and acknowledge that nothing is ever perfect, but we can try hard to make it so. We look after our staff - they must like it here because they hardly ever leave and rarely phone in sick!
Our staff in turn work with a lot of committed, but vulnerable and marginalised young people and together, the model is delivered out to the schools and communities in which we work and they live. We share with them, they share with others. There may be lots of different ways in which we do this, but the consistent result is the same: bullying decreases up to 80%, confidence increases immeasurably and the reporting of bullying increases by 60%. We know this works because it is very carefully evaluated.
The model is cascading in that it rolls out and across communities of young people, young activists mentoring each other - looking out for each other, caring for each other, entrusting each other to a better life. It is then sustained and nurtured so that the model can take root properly in a community and grow stronger. Which is basically what we do with our staff, too.
We know that apart from the young people we are assisting, our staff are perhaps the most important asset. So we put in place things to keep them happy, like staff development, training, paternity leave (three months, not a week, thanks), critical illness cover, flexitime, duvet days, counselling, study leave, ice hockey tables and a dog.
