Targeted support from local authorities and their partners helps vulnerable young people

20 Jul 2010

Targeted support from local authorities and their partners is helping to meet the needs of vulnerable young people, according to a report published today by Ofsted, the Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills. However, the report finds that local authorities have made limited progress in involving voluntary, community and private groups in providing youth services, and that the focus on providing services for ‘at risk’ young people risked undermining the youth activities available to all young people.

Supporting young people: an evaluation of recent reforms to youth support services in 11 local areas examines the progress made by local authorities and various youth support services, including youth offending teams, youth services, the Connexions service, voluntary and community sectors, education welfare officers and substance misuse teams to work together for young people.
