These case studies look at the impact of targeted youth support (TYS) and TYS-related processes on the lives of vulnerable young people.

Based on interviews with young people, they outline the challenges they face, the actions they and the practitioners working with them have taken and the resulting impact, and offer some implementation tips for others working with vulnerable young people.
 
Their purpose is to give you a taste of the types of interventions that practitioners are using to help vulnerable young people, and the opportunity to find out more about issues relevant to you and your authority. 

To help you decide if these case studies are appropriate to your needs, we have provided further details of the contents here:
