3. Why the Council is seeking to commission services for young people: Youth Review The assessment found very positive youth services that are valued by young people, their families and communities and are delivered by a skilled and committed workforce. Young people are unclear about what is on offer and services vary between different parts of the city. Good research evidence validates open access and targeted youth work and youth provision but it is difficult to assess the impact and comparative value for money of local services commissioned from the council’s delivery unit and external providers. Too many young people need specialist services without having received support from youth work or youth provision Services for Young Peoples, Joint Commissioning Strategy Fully supported through Council Co-production / Collaboration Worked with existing contract providers to refine the details for specification
