answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2018 answer text <p>The NCS innovation programme was established in 2017 to identify new ways to grow and improve NCS, and to increase value for money for taxpayers. The programme is administered and evaluated by NCS Trust.</p><p> </p><p>Early pilots have demonstrated some positive impacts. For example, a pilot run in conjunction with the Behavioural Insights Team found that young people who are given a “buddy” before NCS are up to 6% more likely to turn up on programme, reducing unfilled places and unit cost. Another found that when specialist one-to-one support was provided to young people with complex needs, including young people referred through social services, Youth Offending services or Looked After Children services, 72% were able to complete NCS, which brings this group into line with average completion rates.</p><p> </p><p>In 2018, NCS Trust will continue to pilot and evaluate new ways to improve the programme, including through new partnerships with sector organisations such as the Scouts and Sea Cadets. <strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch question first answered 11/01/2018 13:35:51 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2017 answer text <p>DCMS has been working closely with NCS Trust to reduce the risk of funds being spent on unfilled places. This year DCMS introduced a KPI on the number of unfilled places in the NCS Trust’s performance management framework. In 2017 we also worked with the Trust to improve the accuracy of target-setting and commissioning which means that the number of places commissioned is better matched to actual demand. In 2016 NCS Trust also carried out an independent, external audit to identify funds that could be recovered.</p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch question first answered 21/12/2017 11:14:40 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch
