Detached workers offer easy access to educational opportunities for young people who might otherwise miss out, to stimulate and challenge them, to help them look at new options and make informed life choices. We are active in the local secondary school, carrying out joint work with teachers and helping to address issues which are relevant to young people. We can help young people to obtain information on a wide range of subjects and issues, specifically through the use of the YES Point. The Youth Enquiry Service, an information and support service for young people, which is based in the community. We can work with individuals to identify and deal with issues relevant to them.
All individual work is negotiated on a voluntary basis.
A Place For All Young People Involvement with the Team is open to any young person. So any young person can benefit from being involved with the Whitfield Youth Team.
