The Learning from Experience guide is here

27 Oct 2022

This brand-new guide has been produced in partnership with Cathy Street and nine Youth Access members, to offer an exclusive look into the key issues for developing and sustaining Youth Information, Advice and Counselling Services (YIACS) across the country.

After the publication of Future in Mind (Dept. of Health and NHS England, 2015) and more recent discussions by the House of Commons Health and Social Care Select Committee, there has been an increase in the development of YIACS - but this hasn't been without challenge. The last decade has seen considerable development of YIACS and this guide seeks to review some of the current issues facing YIACS which have the potential to adversely impact on their sustainability.

This new guide explores the key issues Youth Access members, from across the country, have identified and the ways in which they have overcome these using the power of collaboration and networks. 

Members can access this new resource in the toolkits section of the Members Area.
