Description

Lancashire County Council (LCC) intends to appoint one or more Service Provider(s), already actively delivering youth work in Lancashire, to deploy two youth workers per area, to provide detached youth work across each of the following twelve areas; Lancaster; Fylde; Wyre; Preston; Chorley; South Ribble; West Lancashire; Hyndburn; Ribble Valley; Rossendale; Burnley; Pendle. 'Detached youth work' is principally targeted at vulnerable young people. It is a method of working with young people which operates without the use of a building and takes place where young people "are at" both geographically and developmentally e.g. 'out on the streets', in parks, shopping centres and other public places where young people naturally meet and gather. Within a detached model of youth work the activities are defined by young people rather than pre-determined as may be in the case of outreach youth work, for example targeting specific issues such as underage drinking. Detached youth workers can provide informal education by bringing youth work to young people, listening, and hearing their needs and creating youth work that tailors to this.
