Basingstoke and Deane Youth Council The Youth Council works to make Basingstoke and Deane a better place for youth. They do this by speaking on behalf of youth, creating and participating in local events, and working towards solving. The Basingstoke and Deane Youth Council is events-based. This means that they try to make a difference to Basingstoke and Deane youth through events. There is a statutory requirement for there to be a Children's Trust to enable partners to come together to consider the needs of all children in Hampshire, to agree a Children and Young People's Plan and to monitor progress against the improvements in outcomes agreed. The Children and Young People's Plan is the delivery mechanism for children's issues in the LAA. The Trust board is chaired by the Director Children's Services and the membership includes representatives from schools, colleges, Job Centre Plus, the Police, the Youth Justice Service, District Councils, the NHS, and the voluntary sector. The Hampshire Trust is supported in its work by local children's partnerships, currently based upon District Council areas with links to LSPs. In future these arrangements will include all schools and colleges in order to comply with new duties of collaboration. Hampshire Youth Forum The Forum is a youth led initiative involving a group of young people from the Basingstoke and Deane area, who want to make a positive difference to the lives of other young people. They play a big part in how the Connexions and Youth Team services are delivered - for example: making sure the centres are young people friendly; helping to decide what information and leaflets are appropriate, and reviewing company policies. The Forum has close links to the vinvolved Youth Volunteering Team and meets once a month in the Orchard Youth Suite where they also consider the Youth Opportunity Fund bids; engage in consultations and undertake the cat mark.
