Review of Youth Work with Black and Minority Ethnic Young People in Newcastle upon Tyne
2003
This six-month-long review into services to Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) young people in Newcastle was commissioned by the city’s Play and Youth Service. The tender was awarded to a joint bid from the Regional Youth Work Unit and Save the Children.
This review was commissioned partly in response to the 2001 OFSTED inspection of the City Council’s Children and Young People’s Section. The OFSTED inspection highlighted the need to provide speci! c services to BME young people and the need to integrate BME young people into mainstream youth provision.
In March 2002, the Play and Youth Service undertook a short consultation exercise with BME organisations in the city to find out their views on the scope of the review and how it should be carried out. The review’s brief for tender was largely based on this consultation exercise.
The aims of this review into work with BME young people are to:
- Map and assess current services
- Consider best practice
- Make recommendations to inform strategy and policy provision
- Involve BME groups and BME young people themselves in the review process.
