Over 150 Hertfordshire young people are recognised for their outstanding achievements
Services for Young People (SfYP) celebrated the resilience, determination and compassion of 157 young people from across Hertfordshire at their four Young People’s Awards events during National Youth Work Week.
The Young People’s Awards events are an opportunity to recognise and celebrate the achievements of some of the young people who have been supported by SfYP over the previous academic year. They highlight the positive impact that SfYP Youth Workers and Advisers have in enabling young people to overcome barriers and fulfil their potential.
Hertfordshire Young People’s Health and Wellbeing Survey 2023
SfYP is working in partnership with Public Health Hertfordshire to deliver this annual survey which captures the health and wellbeing needs of young people aged 11-19 in the county. The results will be used to help plan future services which meet the needs of the young people of Hertfordshire.
Supported Internships give young people the skills they need for long-term employment
Supported Internships are for people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) aged 16-25. Supporting the transition from education to employment, they equip young people with essential skills and workplace experiences to prepare them for adulthood and the world of work.
SfYP is raising awareness about the difference Supported Internships can make to the lives of young people and how employers can benefit from hiring young people with SEND through a series of online events.
