The Service is a key contributor to the prevention and early intervention/early help agenda for Lancashire County Council. It enables young people to succeed by providing high quality informal education opportunities to promote their personal and social development. It supports young people who are challenged in education, their communities or home life to ensure a successful transition to adulthood.
Youth work focuses on personal and social development – the skills and attributes of young people – rather than to ‘fix a problem’.
