19. "It was one of the few days in our son’s school career when he has come home and communicated. Your ability to connect with troubled teenagers is truly valuable.” Parent “I have seen some amazing performances – far more powerful and thought provoking than a lot of professional TV and theatre productions. The young people have responded well and will all take a lot away with them.” STEPS/Surrey Care Trust www.crimediversionscheme.org.uk

20. “You go around doing stuff and you don't think about it. When I heard the prisoners talking, I thought 'I better sort it out. That might be me'.“ ''Speaking to the prisoners has helped me understand that life shouldn’t be wasted and that actions have consequences.'‘   www.crimediversionscheme.org.uk

21. “I have learnt so much from you it has made me stop and think about my behavior both in school and out on the streets. Things you told us about I could relate to because I am doing some of those things now. "I know now that if I continue on this path I will end up in prison like you. I did listen and have made changes in my life, I am trying to behave in school as well.” Ben W, aged 15 www.crimediversionscheme.org.uk
