Targeted Youth Support

Targeted youth support’s multi-agency, early intervention and preventative approach helps practitioners reduce NEET (not in education, employment or training) and associated problems – such as homelessness, teenage pregnancy and substance misuse – and starts to tackle the underlying causes of these negative outcomes.

Centring on the young person and their family, targeted youth support’s multi-agency approach – which builds on the success of existing multi-agency structures such as those supporting Every Child Matters – provides an ideal foundation on which to strengthen existing links between agencies and local strategic partnerships (LSPs).
