The programme, which runs for three years, is set at three levels:
1) Foundation Available to all local authorities free of charge, this strand of activity includes access to the new Supporting Services for Young People Knowledge Hub, which provides a single forum for the youth sector to share best practice and gain insight on key issues and opportunities. Authorities also have the chance to attend two major conferences, including one in the Midlands in the autumn. Councils also receive a copy of The Edge – the magazine for councillors and the wider youth sector.
2) Tailored support Providing free consultancy to local authorities through NYA’s trusted associate network on a variety of issues including restructuring and reconfiguring services, commissioning, workforce development and working with partner organisations. Plus research and information capture projects designed to share emerging findings with the field in monthly and quarterly reports.
3) Emerging themes Allowing NYA to respond to key issues as they develop over the year, this strand will include building on last year’s work to support councils in bringing new resource into the sector by establishing and maintaining relationships with businesses. Work will be undertaken to help councils respond to the new government priorities, such as supporting the vulnerable families agenda.
