Abstract
Following this introduction, this report details the findings from a narrative literature review which summarises the research evidence in relation to youth mentoring programmes. This review also discusses the role that the mentoring relationship and other relationship dynamics exert on the effectiveness of such mentoring programmes. It then details the methodological approaches undertaken by the original BBBS evaluation study (Dolan et al., 2011a), and highlights the quantitative and qualitative approaches undertaken in the current study. The findings from the secondary analysis of quantitative data are then presented and discussed, followed by the qualitative findings. The report concludes by discussing the implications of these findings and makes recommendations for future policy and practice initiatives.
