Stakeholder Group Included / Excluded Rationale for Inclusion / Exclusion

  • Young people are the primary targets of the program.
  • By taking part in the program, the lives of the young people are likely to be significantly impacted.

Stakeholder 2: Young people in the school group

Included

  • Young people are the primary targets of the program, and the school group is a key way of recruiting young people into the performance group.

Included

  • The program generates performance fee income that is invested into the program. This is material and was included in the analysis.
