DYT & Evidenced Based Practice

Driver Youth Trust has always prided itself on being an organisation that asks questions – of the complex issues in education, and of those in power – especially in relation to the education of young people with SEND and literacy difficulties.

We have utilised the concept of Evidenced Based Practice (EBP) to ensure that our decision making is based on multiple sources, critical thinking and the ‘best available’ evidence. You can read more about how DYT uses EBP here.
