24. PROSPECTS The Chair introduced Barbara Beyst from Prospects, the organisation which had taken over from Connexions in the County and she began by describing the changes which had occurred in the delivery of careers advice for age 16+ young people. The Connexions service had been absorbed into the City and Prospects had been contracted to provide 16+ services in the County for those Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET). Schools were free to buy in their services or chose others for careers advice and guidance plus practical help. Its main objective was to get young people back into some form of education or training. They had two offices, in Hinckley and Loughborough but access to their services could be obtained through local agencies throughout the County, with one in South Wigston. During discussion, the following were raised:

• How young unemployed get help with bus fares to job centres and other offices (various methods exist and

Agenda Item 2

Page 1

Prospects may be also able to help)

• Advice is available on a weekly basis but this depends upon the numbers

• Oadby Boys Club is considering the possibility of offering such services.

The Chair thanked Ms Beyst for her contribution, invited her to return to a future meeting after six months and she left the meeting at 7.20 p.m.

25. POLICE FORCE CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE’S OFFICER The Chair introduced Ms Moscetano who explained that her post which was permanent, replaced the Youth Involvement Officers, a civilian post based within the Police Headquarters. Based upon information supplied by police colleagues, her job was to pull together an engagement plan for young offenders by a distraction strategy to prevent them offending. Schools and youth clubs had been visited to make them aware of the service which offered diversionary activities to avoid young people getting into trouble, especially at weekends. Further information would be made available as the service grew. Current examples may be found on Twitter. The Chair thanked Ms Moscetano for her contribution who remained for the duration of the next two items.

26. POLICE UPDATE ON YOUTH ISSUES PCSO Preston gave an overview of youth crime in the three town centres, highlighting the problem areas in each locality, apart form Oadby which did not seem to have any. Anecdotal evidence of a problem on the Little Hill estate was given, of which PCSO Preston took note, and advised residents to use the 101 number to report such incidents. He left the meeting at 7.35 p.m.

27. PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES PRESENTATION The Chair introduced Leanne Plummer, the Physical Activities Development Officer who, utilising a power point presentation outlined the business of Active Together, a County-wide initiative offering access to a wide range of physical activities. Initially for 16+, all ranges of children and young people are now catered for. This is responding to statistics which indicate that the Borough is very high in statistics recording children as “heavy”. Schools have been encouraged to engage parents to permit their children to attend an after school course, during which physical activities are gradually increased over the eight

Page 2

week period for the first hour and parents join their children for the second hour to learn about healthy eating. Three courses held at the Freer Centre in Wigston have proved successful and in the next financial year, classes will be extended to Oadby and South Wigston. Classes in partnership agreements put on classes at various venues and sports clubs are fostered, such as boxing in South Wigston and softball in Wigston. Jinz dancing on mats is also popular. In all, ten different activities have been promoted by the organisation this year. Publicity is mainly through their own web site – www.activeoadbywigston,org,uk - which receives 250 hits per week. This has generated 941 individual young persons undertaking 4000 different exercise sessions in the period April – September 2012. This target will be tripled by March 2013 and to further this, a commissioning evening for partners and service deliverers will be held at the Council Offices on 13 December. During discussion, it was confirmed that the £105,000 budget was funded centrally and not from Oadby and Wigston but any income generated from one-off events, classes, etc., is recycled locally, all the sports clubs are open to both genders and publicity will be increased to try to get local people to try something new. The partnership does not give grants but can signpost clubs, groups, organisations towards money available.

28. UNDER 11 VOICE PROJECT Councillor Carter informed the meeting of this exciting new project for primary school children in Oadby, as a result of a successful bid for £1,000 via this Forum. The intention is to put on classes after school for young people to create art work from recycled materials, thus, having the twin objectives of children encouraging their parents to recycle and increase the footfall and expenditure at Brocks Hill. If the scheme proves a success, it could be extended to Wigston and South Wigston but transport could prove to be a problem. It depended upon voluntary groups such as scouts and guides supporting the scheme on a practical basis, such as giving lifts.

29. BROCKS HILL PROGRAMME Karen Hambleton gave a short presentation on the activities for children and young people being provided at Brocks Hill Environment Centre. She considered it under used in the evenings by the Council itself when compared to Parklands and asked the group to consider using Brocks Hill more. The centre produces newsletters which are networked via various local

Page 3

web sites, Letterbox and the Primary Times which goes out to all primary school children. Children are encouraged in tactile experiences and to re-use materials to make art works. These activities are popular and are usually fully booked. T shirt printing and other crafts are also provided for unaccompanied children aged ten years plus but such activities need a greater take up. Term time activity is confined to school groups but during holidays, activities are provided for families.

30. YOUTH COUNCIL AND YOUTH CONFERENCE ( AGENDA ITEMS 8 AND 10 TAKEN TOGETHER) In the absence of Jemma Redden, Mrs York reported firstly on the Youth Council which still had six months left of the academic year to recruit new members. They had been focused on the Youth Conference but held a number of other events, such as Christmas Capers in South Wigston. They were actively seeking volunteers to attend their meetings which are held in the Council Offices on the third Monday of every month. Moving on to the Conference, Mrs York explained that this had been organised by the Extended Schools Co-ordinator in the past but this post had been made redundant. Therefore, a partnership between the Council, and Guthlaxton College, both of whom provided funding, and Leisure Connection who provided free accommodation was set up for this year. Those Members who had attended paid compliment to the well organised event and Mrs York explained the “snowball fight” in the afternoon where young people had been asked to write their wish list on pieces of paper, then screw them up into a ball and throw them at each other. The resultant pile had been picked up and would be analysed at a meeting to be held next week. Anything which was practical would be put to the Youth Council.

31. CHRISTMAS CAPERS This was confirmed by the Chair as taking place on 6 December in South Wigston from 4.30 – 9.00 p.m.

32. YOUNG CITIZEN OF THE YEAR The Chair confirmed that this had been awarded to Jarrod Noonan for his hands-on style of encouragement amongst young people.

33. YOUTH SERVICE UPDATE Mrs York had circulated a hand out updating Members and referred to it in her short presentation. It represented the

Page 4

monthly report from the Head of Service, Mark Cast at County Hall, and made reference to the groups taking a proactive role against vandalism and anti social behaviour but welcomed any volunteer support. Two/three detached youth workers are active on Friday nights and Mrs York asked Members to let her know any concerns.

34. UPDATE FROM YOUTH OFFENDING SERVICE Mrs York referred to the hand out which had been circulated and members noted the reduction in Anti Social Behaviour and referrals through schools plus the targeting of individuals to prevent offending. It was agreed to invite the lead officer to future meetings of the Forum.

35. IMPACT ROADSHOW UPDATE Mrs York reported on an event held at Guthlaxton College when a road traffic accident had been staged which brought together several different agencies and seemed to have had a very positive impact upon the young people present.

36. IYSS AND PAYP PERFORMANCE REPORT – QUARTER 2 Following circulation of the handout, members complimented Mrs York on the achievement of all the targets and payment of invoices, including a targeted piece of work through an officer specialising in domestic abuse, following which an outreach trip specifically for young victims or witnesses had proven to be very successful.

37. LEICESTERSHIRE PAYP – 6 MONTHLY MONITORING REPORT Members’ comments included complimentary remarks on how much was achieved from so little resources (cost per head £0.08 per hour) and a request to see ordinary young people rewarded in some way, to which it was pointed out that schools have their own reward systems, although the Borough had its Young Citizen of the Year Award and, when published, the Young Peoples’ Letterbox did publicise young peoples’ achievements.

The Meeting Closed at 9.00 p.m.

Little Hill Youth Club Graffiti Project

PAYP funding was provided to Little Hill Youth Club for an external ‘expert’ provider on

graffiti art. The provider

discussed local issues

with young people and

the history of the club,

which was encompassed

within the work including

Boyzee, the original name

of the club, and an image

of the building. Young

people who engaged in

the project had their

names included within

the mural. Young people

were well engaged in the

project and proud of the work they had achieved.

Blaby, Oadby, Wigston Job Club

A new club offering young people in Blaby district a helping hand into the world of work

kicks off this January.

The Job Club will take place at Braunstone Town Library on Tuesdays from 11am until 1pm,

starting January 15.

It aims to give 16 – 25 year olds who are not currently in education, employment or training

a boost towards planning their career path, writing CVs, job and college applications, getting

help with interview skills and building confidence.

There will also be the chance to access a host of other services such as housing and

residential support.

Councillor Jackie Dickinson, portfolio holder for Policy, Partnerships and Health

Improvement, said:

It is tough trying to get a job nowadays if you are young, even more so if you have low skills

and lack work experience.

The Job Club offers one-to-one support to help young people step off the negative path and

help them to move forward in a positive way to achieve a hopeful future.

The Job Club is a free service and is a development through Integrated Youth Support

Services, delivered by Leicestershire County Council’s Youth Service and Adult Learning

Services and Prospects, in partnership with Blaby District Council and South Leicestershire

College.

BDC Children’s Worker Referral Form

BDC Children’s Worker provides support to children and young people living in the Blaby

District area whose behaviour and life experience are affected by domestic abuse and are at

risk of becoming involved in anti social behaviour and/or criminal activity. They may have

been exposed to substance misuse or are at risk of substance misuse.

We offer emotional and practical support in a safe and confidential way, and will meet with

the child or young person in school or here at Blaby if they prefer.

We use therapeutic interventions to help work through difficult thoughts and feelings and

challenging behaviour and try to understand life from their perspective. We focus on

developing self worth and self belief and aim to build their resilience to enable them to

manage their lives more effectively.

Page 9

Please contact Ruth Laband – [email protected] or 0116 272 7734 for as referral form.

A referral form needs completing for each child being referred to the service, and all

sections need to be completed.

A young person that was open to the Youth

Offending Service received a 9 month Referral

Order. It was decided at the Community Panel

meeting that the young person would

complete 19 hours of reparation work to help

repay some of the damage that was caused in

the community. The young person helped to

set up and deliver sports sessions with the

K.I.C.K’s Project (Kids in the Community Keep on Scoring) and IMPACT Project, and said ‘I

really enjoyed helping out and getting involved in delivering the sessions’. The six week

programme engaged with 14 young people in Stoney Stanton.

Comments on Needs Analysis Information to inform 2013/4 Action Planning

Mark Cast

• Document is basically a list (this is a list of all of the comments from the Needs Analysis Day from face to face up to strategic level)

• Need to prioritise one objective/contribution per key theme – a theme Youth Service may not contribute towards is housing other than the work done at Kennedy House (SMART) (objectives will be set at part of the SMART action plan for 2-13/14)

• Some curriculum themes such as domestic abuse and smoking cessation would benefit from the setting of objectives. Refer to CYPS Business Plan for key priorities (all information gathered will be used to set joint partnership objectivese).
