Services for young people

Further memorandum submitted by Frontier Youth Trust

As a post script to my previous e-mail - Frontier Youth Trust submitted a report to the Education Inquiry into services for young people (copy attached)  in which I offered feedback from young people. I have subsequently had this quote sent to me from one of our youth work contacts from a young person:

"Youth work is important because there is always someone to talk to when friends and family aren't appropriate. You always feel someone is there to help. It can change people for the good and it also teaches young people good ways to go about life and helps them to understand things better." Josh, 17 yrs

I wanted to offer Josh's perspective to you as an additional comment.
