Youth Contract - Short Edit

Youth Contract FULL MIX

Over 350 organisations make up the Young Lives Bradford (YLB) network.  Collectively YLB is vital for the well-being of the District’s children, young people and families.  Over the years we have:

•	Established an important ‘voice and influence’ role in discussion with key players in the city
•	Supported collaboration and shared learning to make the sector more effective and coherent
•	Communicated information between and within sectors

The annual YLB get-together was a fantastic opportunity to meet like-minded people and to make sure YLB continued to be effective and powerful in supporting people in Bradford and the VCS across the district.

The theme for this year was developing and delivering solutions in hard times and the half day (which is free of charge) will include:

•	Opportunities for dialogue with key people from Bradford MDC- James Purdie, Senior Commissioning Manager, Department of Children’s Services

•	A World Café discussion on the question:
            “What (commissioning) environment is needed to grow the ‘solutions’ from the VCS that are needed?”

•	Developing solutions workshops on key issues such as Play, Child Poverty, Children’s Centres, Housing and Homelessness, Youth Services, Alternative Education, Services to Disabled Children & Young People  

•	Hear the results of the latest YLB member Survey and Prospectus setting out clearly the value (including added value) of the VCS
