Dorset County Council – Youth Services Consultation

Local authority announces plans to cease funding 22 youth centres to save £1m.

Dorset County Council said it plans to target resources “where they are most needed” with youth workers operating in places such as schools and skate parks.   Read more at www.cypnow.co.uk/cyp/news/1154830/local-authority-announces-plans-to-cease-funding-22-youth-centres-to-save-gbp1m

Do you have a view on these plans?  Take part in the Youth Services in Dorset Consultation. 

As part of a six week engagement on the proposed changes to youth services in Dorset between 15 September and 27 October, young people, local communities and organisations across Dorset were asked to help shape the future of youth services by telling the Community Partnerships what was available in their local area and what was important to them.   There is now a public consultation running from 17 November to 16 December on a proposal to change the way youth services are provided and your views are needed.

The consultation proposal and access to the on-line survey is available on www.dorsetforyou.com/youth-services-consultation

If you have any further questions or would like further information please contact the Forward Together for Children programme team via FTforChildren@dorsetcc.gov.uk or 01305 225637.
