"Positive for Youth: Next Steps - shaping, commissioning and delivery of services for young people"
Monday 25th June 2012
CHYPS is holding a Policy Seminar for members at Church House on 25th June 2012. This is timed ahead of the launch of the Government’s new “Positive for Youth Guidance”. The event provides a platform to develop new approaches to commission and deliver services for young people. It will be a chance for you to:
-
hear first hand from lead officials on the draft DfE guidance that will be published in the summer and the work of Health and Wellbeing Boards;
-
discuss emerging themes and issues, for practical insight so that CHYPS' members stay ahead of the curve on what is expected from local authorities in delivery and commissioning of services;
-
debate some of those ideas with cross-party politicians, in turn to help shape and inform party policies as well as government policy, that ultimately will be carried out by local authorities.
The Policy Seminar is designed to help equip Heads of Service as you shape the local offer for young people in your area, with a thematic focus on: family; schools; community; health & wellbeing.
It will also be an opportunity for peer networking, sharing experiences and ideas with other Heads of Service.
*Chris Caroe, Department for Education Young People Division and lead on the draft statutory guidance, will take part on the day with a presentation and to take questions.
**Karen Buck MP, Labour Party Shadow Education team and their spokesperson on Youth Services, has kindly agreed to speak as part of the cross-party representation.
This will be the third annual Summer Policy Seminar that CHYPS has run. It will give participants the opportunity to hear firsthand the latest on Youth Policy and members to inform and shape CHYPS Policy work which will form the basis of the annual convention in Sheffield in November.
