Youth Work Strategy
What young people said
During the consultation we received the following feedback to inform our strategy.
It depends on what the activity is to be honest. Or where it is. I wouldn't mind going somewhere else, but it depends on what the activity is and where it’s going to be at
Buildings are low-grade, grey environment, low-grade conditions…and that's what, in my opinion, seems to be the accepted norm
I think targeted youth provision is very important because obviously…they’re not like 'normal' children who can just go out and about. Meeting up with a friend at the Youth Club is very, very important - to have that bit of normality for them
Over the last two years especially, we’ve noticed a clear distinction between under 11s, under 13s and over 13s
We need to be more proactive finding ways to engage via social media - TikTok for example
I think [small groups are] a great idea because when working in a smaller group, everyone has more chance of being heard and will find it more comfortable to talk
