Agenda item

This Council notes:

The quality and value of youth workers and youth work supporting young people in Cardiff

That youth workers are valuable role models for young people

The key role youth work has in supporting young people to realise their full potential

That youth centres can be an important part of communities

The hard work and dedication of volunteers who work with young people across Cardiff

The partners that work with the Council to deliver quality youth work in Cardiff

The needs of young people are not limited to one particular arc of Cardiff and whilst deprivation results in increased need, there is need in every ward

The 15 minute neighbourhood concept includes young people, their needs and access to facilities

This Council calls on the Cabinet to:

Make sure that qualified youth workers are able to cover the whole of Cardiff enabling them to reach young people wherever they are and whenever they are needed

Research the co-ordination between youth workers and the police and ensure best practice is in place across the whole of Cardiff in matters involving young people.

To make sure that young people, no matter where in the city they live, have access to youth facilities and can access youth work based support when they need it

Bring a report outlining how support across the city can be improved within 3 months
