Every Child Matters
Defining the Problem
Found that information was not shared betweenagencies;
That the lead role or responsibilities of individual
agencies was not always clear;
That there were different cultures in different
agencies that resulted in interagency suspicion;
That Children and Young People sometimes fellthrough the gaps.

Context
Young People and Services Today
In addition to schools and colleges four other
groups of services have roles to play:
Youth Services can make a crucial contribution;
Connexions aims to support and guide all youngpeople but needs to Go local;
Mainstream services such as health, often dontfocus sufficiently on young peoples needs;
Targeted support services for those at risk areoften fragmented.

Youth Services
Local Authority Youth Services are the onlypublicly-funded and nationwide service focused
on the personal and social development of
young people;
The Voluntary and Community Sector, working
closely with Local Authority services can make a
dramatic difference to young peoples lives;

Connexions
Established in 2001 to meet young peoplesneeds for support and guidance with a
particular focus on NEET:
The holistic approach is consistent with the
principles of Every Child Matters;
However the support and guidance servicesoffered by Connexions need to be more fully
integrated within services for young people.

Mainstream Services
LocalPrimary Care Trusts and Hospital Trusts:
Have not always ensured that there are good
quality health services to meet the needs of
young people;
Every Child Matters reforms place a duty to
co-operate and work together to address the
issue.
