Supporting staff to: Challenge Growth
Challenge Growth is a young person’s experience with an adult who encourages them to take risks and perform beyond their own expectations.
Challenging growth involves four actions: 1) Staff expect young people to do their best and to live up to their potential; 2) They stretch and encourage young people to go further than they imagine; 3) Staff support young people to reflect on failures and to learn from mistakes; and, 4) They hold young people accountable by supporting them to take responsibility for their actions.
