The National Youth Agency: Leading from the frontline offers boost to services for the young

A consortium led by FPM Training and including The National Youth Agency and Regional Youth Work Units has been appointed to deliver a major national programme of skills and training for the youth workforce. It is the biggest single investment to develop the leadership and management skills of services for young people, commissioned by the Children's Workforce Development Council.

FPM Training will design, develop and deliver programmes to support nearly 500 service leaders and over 5,000 frontline managers. Open to all services for young people, this includes all 151 local authorities, most national voluntary youth organisations and independent providers. The programme starts in March.

Kevin Ford, chief executive of FPM Training, said: "This is a once in a generation opportunity for leaders and managers across the whole of the youth workforce, in partnerships between the statutory and third sectors, to make integrated youth support services a reality. The programmes are tailored to the real world of services for young people across all disciplines and sectors, supported by the vast experience of our partners."
