HCC Services for Young People Access Point Projects survey, Autumn 2022
HCC Services for Young People (SfYP) is asking young people how they can make their Access Point Projects more accessible to them.
SfYP is committed to delivering the best possible services for young people at venues and times that work best for them.
They are currently reviewing the delivery of services at their Access Point Projects, where young people can access a wide range of support and information. SfYP help young people progress into education, training or to find a job or apprenticeship. They also offer confidential one-to-one support with issues such as mental health, relationships, personal safety, benefits and finances, housing and homelessness, drug and alcohol use. Young people can also access sexual health services, including free condoms, free pregnancy testing and free chlamydia and gonorrhoea testing.
The results of the survey will inform how they structure and deliver the services at the Access Point Projects from January 2023, so it is important that they hear from as many young people as possible. Please share the link to the short survey with any young people you know or work with to ensure their views are included.
The survey is anonymous and young people do not need to provide any personal details. It only takes a few minutes to complete:
