Connexions: Sussex board acts upon youth input
Tuesday, June 7, 2005
The plan contained numerous measures designed to increase young people's involvement in the service and is the first to be approved since 18-year-old Jessica Titchener was made the organisation's vice-chair.
Measures to give young people a say in recruitment and marketing are central to the plans. They also commit the service to formulating a set of protocols for consulting teenagers about Connexions' services.
Jessica said: "It has been fantastic to do this. Young people need to be involved in decisions about Connexions right across the board and I think these plans will make sure this happens. If it doesn't help involve young people at ground level, then there's not much point."
