Wendy Flint, NYA development officer on accreditation, said: "The NYA has received a number of queries relating to the new youth work performance indicators. It should be noted that there has been a recent amendment to the recorded outcomes indicator, and the description and formula currently on the ODPM web site do conform to previous advice and the percentage of young people aged 13 to 19 gaining a recorded outcome does now relate to the equivalent percentage participating in youth work. The benchmark is for 60 per cent of participants to gain a recorded outcome.
"But the description and formula for the accredited outcomes indicator currently relate the percentage of young people aged 13 to 19 gaining an accredited outcome to the percentage of young people in the local authority area. This is not correct. It should relate to the percentage of young people aged 13 to 19 gaining an accredited outcome to the percentage participating in youth work. The benchmark is for 30 per cent of participants to gain an accredited outcome."
