The Youth Task Group has identified key priorities for Surrey Heath to prevent young people becoming Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET). The recommendations focus on key geographical neighbourhoods and community priorities. A local specification for the Local Prevention Framework for 2013-15 has been produced. Proposals for work to address the identified priority areas and risk factors will be sought from local providers. The Commissioning and Development team will create a short-list of bids for consideration of the Task Group. The Task Group will then consider a shortlist before final proposals for award of grant(s) are brought to the Local Committee
The Local Committee (Surrey Heath) agreed to:-
a) Approve the allocation of £18,000 to Personalised Prevention Budgets (see 1.3a for details).
b) Approve the local needs specification (Annexe A) to be considered by providers focusing on the identified needs of Surrey Heath and the geographical neighbourhoods prioritised by the Youth Task Group.
