Targeted youth support: additional resources
A wealth of supporting information around multi-agency working and targeted youth support (TYS) has been and is being produced by local authority area children's trusts, services and agencies for young people, and other sources. Much of this information is linked to the change management process outlined in this toolkit and has been created by the TYS pathfinders.
