Issue - meetings

Leigh Middleton will be attending to present a report.  Services for Young People are proposing changes to how Community Youth Work is delivered in Surrey Heath.  These changes are designed so that the Community Youth Work Service (CYWS) are able to deliver youth work in areas where there is the greatest need of supporting young people into employability.

The Local Committee (Surrey Heath) agreed:

(i)            the proposals set out in paragraph 3.1, Option 1, as formal guidance for the Community Youth Work Service.

(ii)           That the Senior Practitioner in consultation with the Practice Lead (West) and Chairman of the Youth Task Group may adjust the services on offer to meet the needs of young people as they change.

Reasons:

Members considered a report proposing changes to how Community Youth Work is delivered in Surrey Heath.

Members were supportive of the work that had been carried out by the team historically, noted that there would be a 31% reduction in resource allocated to Surrey Heath, and that the service would be working with partners colleagues to retain provision in the area.
