About the Report

Our Dulverton programme gave 107 young people the opportunity to positively engage with Outdoor Learning at Avon Tyrrell, helping support their personal development and create a cohesive support network.

• With approximately 830,500 young people in our network we understand the phenomenal strengths of young people right across the UK, and the many and diverse challenges they face as they transition to adulthood.
• As a national organisation we are able to observe differences and similarities in services for young people across the UK and we have used our knowledge and experience to develop a common set of values, a framework for delivery and a suite of awards that youth organisations and young people across our network can buy into.
• Our Social Development Journey is intended to provide a framework for youth professionals and organisations to work with young people to progress, without imposing any pre-determined outcomes, to support their chosen journey towards an independent and self-supporting adulthood.
• In creating this framework it has been vital to be mindful of maintaining the foundations of good youth work practice, so the Social Development Journey should be approached with an understanding that it is based upon the concepts and practice of positive relationships, voluntary participation, equality, opportunity and youth empowerment
