| East Riding Safeguarding Children Partnership Partner and Relevant Agency Meeting (PRAM) | The document outlines the activities and priorities of the East Riding Youth Council and the involvement of young people in various initiatives, including safeguarding efforts, mental health, and climate change. Youth Council Activities: Young people from East Riding and neighbouring areas meet every three months to discuss youth voice and influence work, coordinating with local leaders and Members of Youth Parliament. The UK Youth Parliament allows young people to represent their constituencies, focusing on the top two elected Make Your Mark priorities and their individual manifestos, including participation in national and regional activities. Key priorities include mental health, LGBTQ+ issues, domestic abuse, violence against women and girls, anti-bullying strategies, climate change, and app development. Make Your Mark results show Health & Wellbeing as the top priority both locally and nationally, followed by Crime & Safety, Culture, Media & Sport, and Jobs, Economy & Benefits.    |
| Survey Results for a LOG ON MOVE ON App | The survey results indicate that over half of young people were not offered apprenticeships as an alternative to A-levels in year 11, and many felt uninformed about apprenticeship and alternative career routes. Additionally, the majority did not know where to find local apprenticeship options, and did not see apprenticeships as an equal alternative to university. About a third agreed that education providers could do more to promote alternatives to formal education, and felt an app for local job opportunities would be beneficial. From the organisations’ perspective, three-quarters felt their apprenticeships did not reach the intended audience, and half believed an app could benefit their business. |
