What is the Youth Inclusion and Support Panel?
The Support Panel is a FREE service that has been set
up to help children aged 8-17 years of age, who may be at risk of getting
into trouble or at risk of being excluded from school. The Panel’s
aim is to help these children / family at an early stage so that they
can stay on track in the future.
The Panel will have members from council services, voluntary
sector projects and community groups and will be able to refer children
and parents who ask for support onto services and activities that may
be able to help.
The Panel recognises that a variety of significant events
or circumstances, for example, being a victim of crime, exclusion from
school, domestic violence, homelessness, marital breakdown and learning
difficulties, can affect children in different ways.

The Panel aims to work with children to turn these negative
experiences into POSTIVES
by offering packages of support such as:
- After-school clubs
- One-To-One Mentoring
- Personal Development Programmes
- Family Support
- Family Counselling
- Drama Clubs
|
- Sports Activities
- Health Advice
- Youth Projects
- School Holiday Activities
- School Transitions Project
- Assistance to and from activities
|
And many more…
