Consultation process

These proposals have been developed from the wider consultation undertaken as part of the Community Development consultation between March and May 2017. Further consultation and engagement events have happened with a range of local providers of play and youth activities in the City. The majority of funding going into the new service has historically been associated with front line play and youth activities that were grant funded by the Council. In addition to this, Southampton City CCG is investing £40,000 per annum in relation to ensuring that supported play and youth activity supports the emotional and mental health and resilience of children and young people in the city.

Slippage/Variations/Reason for Withdrawal: Initial consultation with potential service providers has prompted a revision of the proposals around the modelling of future youth provision. Therefore further consultation with local children and young people through the Council's Youth Forum is required.
