A Partnership Approach to address Local Priorities
We will meet with the local Service District Manager, other statutory, voluntary and community
sector partners, and with young people, to agree local priorities and deliver a flexible response
to the needs of young people and their communities.
Our current priorities for work with young people in Hillsborough and Upper Don include:
- raising attainment in schools and increasing progression to positive outcomes at 16
- reducing the number of ‘NEET’ young people (not in education employment or training)
- engaging young people in positive activities and accrediting their learning
- addressing issues of drugs, crime, racism
- working with young people on the streets through detached youth work
- targeting those at risk of involvement in crime and antisocial behaviour
- Voice and Influence projects and consultation with young people
- support for vulnerable groups including Looked After Children
Positives Activities in and around the Service District
A snapshot of current activities to illustrate the range of provision available for young people. We look forward to planning future activities for the
district in consultation with the Service District Manager, other local agencies and local young people
