Essex County Council has just begun a consultation on Youth Services.??The proposed cuts?will cost jobs and services.
Please either participate in the survey (its not just for youths) or pass the information on to others who will.? The consultation ends 21st November.
Here’s the introduction:

Youth Service Consultation

Why are we consulting with you? Essex County Council faces an unprecedented financial challenge. Reduced funding from central government, together with the impact of inflation and increasing demand for services mean the council needs to save around ?215m by 2016/17. This on top of the ?365m already saved over the previous three years. Achieving this will require us to take tough decision on what services ECC provides, how we provide them and what services we must stop providing. The Essex Youth Service currently operates within a ?5m budget. There is a requirement to make efficiency savings within the service over the next two financial years with a proposed savings target of ?3m by 2015/16. We would like you to tell us your views to improve the quality of our decision making, by listening to your expertise and exploring your alternative ideas.

About the author, admin

  • Young people are the future and need to be guided,looked after and nurtured with support with all services eg careers advice,activities,life skills,vulnerable groups, disability, additional needs to 25yrs, youth clubs, forums, support groups all need people with expertise to perform these duties to their best and offer quality, excellence and due care to carry this out. This service is too precious and so needed that it cannot be cut anymore. There have already been major cuts to Connexions with major effects. Also take things away anymore and there will be more crime, drink, drugs and mental issues of despair and this will have a knock on effect to other services. Please I beg you no more cuts to such a precious area for the young people of our future. These people also become young voters remember this.
