Report Summary

Fun and enjoyment – 3 stars

Both young inspectors who attended had never been to this session before or played this game. The group were very welcoming and took time to explain the game and support them along the way. They both said that they really enjoyed the session and would go again.

Safety and surroundings – 3 stars

The staff were welcoming and provided warm introductions and a tour of the building and facilities upon arrival. The building and resources caters well for the needs of young people and is organised and presented well. Safety advice was provided and any allergies were checked out. The young inspectors both said they felt safe.

Accessibility – 3 stars

The building is fully accessible for a wheelchair with ramp access at the rear of the building and an accessible toilet. The resources were accessible, and the young inspectors were able to choose their own seating to use and were shown the quiet spaces they could use if they wanted too. The session starts at 4.30p.m which allows young people to attend from across the island on the bus. Snacks were readily available throughout the session which is welcomed by young people who arrive straight from school. Both inspectors said that the session was very good value for money.

Young inspector Lead feedback

Whilst this activity is bespoke and may not be suitable or enjoyable for everyone, I think it is very well organised activity that is welcoming of new people coming along to try this game. The staff and other players provided encouragement and support throughout the session and both young inspectors really enjoyed it. Staff were really friendly, made me feel comfortable and welcomed, safety advice was told well, and I knew what to do.

What the provider said

AIM would like to say a massive thank you to The Young Inspectors for joining us. Attending a new group, in a new place, with new people, can be nothing short of terrifying so, we were really pleased and pretty impressed that The Young Inspectors managed to get through the front door, let alone take part in the session! To have received such positive feedback helps us know that we are listening to what young people are telling us they need and responding appropriately so, again, thank you so much and we hope to see you again!

Suggested improvements

To continue to promote this session amongst the Young Inspectors and encourage them to come along and give it a try.
