Targeted youth support: redesigning services to help young people with particular needs
In these case studies, the pathfinders describe how they are redesigning their TYS services to achieve the outcomes set out in Every Child Matters and reiterated in Youth Matters: Next Steps.
Young people often have a variety of issues and needs and the associated risk and resilience factors need to be looked at holistically. Many of the case studies could therefore fit under more than one heading. We therefore recommend that you download the case study grid for a comprehensive view of where the case studies apply.
