Review of services for young people
Calling all groups and organisations who run activities and services for children and young people aged 10 and over in Crawley.
Crawley Strategic Youth Action Partnership (CSYAP) is looking at the services available to young people in the town. This review will focus on identifying where activities and services are available and what young people think of them.
The outcome of the review will be used by local partner agencies – Crawley Borough Council, Spurgeons Childcare, Sussex Police, West Sussex County Council’s Youth Service and West Sussex Council for Voluntary Youth Service
- to ensure future services better meet the needs of Crawley’s young people.
If you are providing services and activities for young people we want to hear from you. CSYAP has created a form for organisations to complete, which will enable it to monitor what is happening, where it’s happening and how.
This will make CSYAP better placed to respond to the needs of young people.
Groups can fill in the online form by visiting www.crawley.gov.uk/youngactive and clicking on the second survey on the page. The forms must be completed by Friday September 17.
Councillor Nigel Boxall, Cabinet member for Community Engagement, said: “I strongly urge all groups to fill in this survey. A wide range of responses will give us a much better idea of what activities are currently on offer for children and young people locally and where there are gaps.
“We want to know more about what is out there but we need your help. So please go online and fill in the survey.”
When the review is complete, CSYAP will be seeking funding to establish a website for young people. All the information collected will be included on a database of events and activities on the site.
The website will be accessible for both young people and organisations who provide services so that young people can always find out about the latest services and activities available for them.
If you are a young person in Crawley, you can complete our online survey on the same page – www.crawley.gov.uk/youngactive – giving your views on activities and services.
