Government references are changed since the election
Department for Education has replaced DCSF. See Key References page for further information.
The purpose of this part of the site is to provide Member organisations with useful information about the strategic context in which youth work takes place.
The voluntary sector tends to be very operationally focused, and this is a great strength, but strategic information about the Children and Young People agenda is increasingly important, if only to support grant bids.
The next section on Needs of Young People includes the Surrey PCT needs assessment, and other statistical data.
The section on Consultations includes key national and local government consultation papers, and any subsequent Surrey Youth Focus responses is located in Statements.
Key References includes an explanation of “all you need to know about policy” – with the aim of this being useful to anyone submitting grant bids, and backed up by access to key documents.
Finally, since so many grant bids have to be submitted by young people themselves , there is a section on Involving Young People. There is a vast amount of Government policy information and new initiatives .
Key web sites are that of:
The Community Foundation for Surrey: has produced an excellent publication called 'Hidden Surrey' aimed at identifying areas of disadvantage both geographically and by community group. Its purpose is to persuade corporations and high net worth individuals to donate funding to the Trust to address these areas. It is a valuable source of information for Surrey Youth Focus members writing grant bids and arguing for the needs of young people in Surrey.
