Issue details
Youth Offer
This report provides the Children, Young People and Education Committee with an overview of proposals to implement an equitable, consistent, branded, neighbourhood youth offer for universal, open access provision. It is the final element of the Youth Offer Review to be actioned, following the consultation which took place in summer 2019 and the report to Cabinet in February 2020. The neighbourhood model responds to the views and wishes of local young people and outlines the contribution of the Local Authority, The Hive Youth Zone and other partners within the developing Wirral Youth Collective.
Decision type: Non-key
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Notice of proposed decision first published: 04/06/2021
This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.
Reason for urgency:
the Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on young people and local youth services are acknowledged as being important in supporting young people to recover from the effects of missed schooling, missed opportunities for social and emotional development, and responding to the impact of hidden harm and this new youth offer is a key component in enabling that to be achieved. Additional funding to enable increased investment in the Youth Service to be put in place was only agreed in the budget in March.
