Consultation process
· A Youth innovation fund delivered through an annual youth grant: When consulted in 2016 sixty-three percent (63%) of young people surveyed indicted that they wanted to Youth Service to create a youth innovation fund; and
· A Youth Service eleven year old pilot: When consulted in 2016 eighty-nine (89%) of young people indicated that they wanted the Youth Service to prioritise working with younger people aged 12 years plus. As a result, the Youth Service will provide youth activities for young people from age 12. In addition to this following its restructure Children’s Centres will provide youth activities for young people up to their 11th birthday. However, there is a gap in the provision of youth activity for 11 year olds (i.e. children who are aged 11 and up to their 12 birthday).
