A key aim is to make it easier for young people to access support by improving collaboration across services.

The plans have been unveiled in the organisation’s Unlocking Youth Work strategy for the next four years.

The strategy, says that there is a “lack of cross-sector mutual understanding across” services for young people.

This is leading to fragmented and complex services that young people “are left to try and navigate”, it adds.

“To effectively develop young people in the UK we need a joined-up approach from across the key sectors that exist to support them,” says the strategy.

It adds that the focus on “deliberate collective action” will ensure that effective initiatives in one sector “can be reinforced, championed and built upon in others”.
