Our curriculum
The Youth Service curriculum is based on six main themes. These reflect the 5 outcomes from Every Child Matters, and the Youth Matters priorities: Being Healthy; Staying Safe; Enjoying and Achieving; Making a Positive Contribution; Economic Well Being; and Active Citizenship.
Programmes of work are negotiated with young people and developed around their needs and interests. Young people also have the opportunity to gain local or nationally accredited awards for their achievements.
