The Guidance for Local Authorities on Youth Work Services aims to provide councils with the tools to ensure young people have “access to quality youth services at a neighbourhood level, whether they are directly delivered, commissioned by or run independently from the local authority”.

The guide sets out a range of recommendations for the delivery of good services and advocates an “access for all” approach aimed at ensuring 80 per cent of all young people are in contact with youth services, 35 per cent on a regular basis, while 10 per cent are supported by targeted, specialist provision.
