Targeted youth support - multi-agency structures (local authorities O–Z)

In these case studies local authorities, and other organisations responsible for implementing targeted youth support (TYS), share emerging practice on the type of multi-agency structures that need to be in place to effectively deliver the reforms.

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

• An effective structure for multi-agency working
  
  
• A clear role for schools and colleges
  
  
• Structures to target those outside formal education 

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.
