INTRODUCTION    Section 3.3 Refers.

 

Eight Key Principles

 

 

1.   Raising aspirations - setting high expectations of every individual;

 

2.   Meeting individual need - and overcoming the barriers to learning;

 

3.   Taking account of the views of young people - individually and collectively, as the new service is developed and operated locally

 

4.   Inclusion - keeping young people in mainstream education and training and preventing them moving to the margins of their community;

 

5.   Partnership - agencies collaborating to achieve more for young people, parents and communities than agencies working in isolation;

 

6.   Community involvement and neighbourhood renewal - through the involvement of community mentors and through Personal Advisers brokering access to local welfare, health, arts, sport and guidance networks;

 

7.   Extending opportunity and equality of opportunity - raising participation and achievement levels for all young people, influencing the availability, suitability and quality of provision and raising awareness of opportunities;

 

8      Evidence based practice - ensuring that new interventions are based on rigorous research and evaluation into "what works".
