The National Youth Agency (NYA) commissioned a series of five briefing papers on the Every Child Matters core outcomes for children and young people - one for each theme.
The five outcomes are:
- to be healthy;
- to be safe;
- to enjoy and achieve;
- to make a positive contribution; and
- to achieve economic well-being.
CRSP was responsible for writing two of the papers: Staying Safe (Book 3) and Making a Positive Contribution (Book 5). These papers focus on the making a positive contribution and staying safe strands of Every Child Matters. The papers also provide an overview of relevant Government policy, draw on academic research evidence and consider the contribution youth work makes to delivering services for young people across the local authority. The papers will also be used to raise awareness of youth work.
