Targeted youth support – a locally owned case for change (local authorities A-C)

In these case studies local authorities, and other organisations responsible for implementing targeted youth support (TYS), share emerging practice around developing a locally owned case for change.

The case studies detail the challenges faced, the actions taken and the resulting impact, and offer some implementation tips for the following areas:

• Involving vulnerable young people, their families, carers and communities
  
  
• Understanding the needs of vulnerable young people and of current service provision
  
  
• Developing clear, shared goals and a comprehensive plan for service reform

Their purpose is to give you a taste of the different practices as they emerge, as well as the opportunity to find out more about issues relevant to you and your authority.
