Summary 18 METHODOLOGY

During the Autumn Term 2011 Derbyshire County Council Integrated Youth Support Team carried out an analysis of the number and type of weekly youth provision sessions provided by both the DCC statutory Youth Service and the voluntary and community sector within each Derbyshire Locality.1 The data provided by the statutory youth service is based on direct information from the youth service staff whereas the data on the voluntary and community sector is identified from a range of sources, direct and indirect, including the Too Doo Directory and individual organisations websites. Although not fully comprehensive these sources provide a representative sample, showing a breadth of provision from organisations, clubs and groups across the Locality but due to the timescale, not all voluntary and community provision is included e.g. not all junior football clubs, dance centres etc. The voluntary and community organisations include drama and music groups, sports clubs, uniformed groups, young parents groups, church youth clubs and specialised support for disabled young people and one to one support. The DCC provision includes youth clubs, youth activities, teenage parent groups, outreach and one to one support.

The mapping has involved calculating the total number of sessions for each Locality from both sectors and analysing by:-  Time of day (9.00-12.00, 12.00-5.00, 5.00 -10.00)  Day  method of delivery (building based, street delivery (mobile/detached)  Open access(available to anyone) or targeted (available to vulnerable young people)  category of delivery. –Recreational or educational leisure

The categorisation of youth activities into the two categories of recreational leisure and educational leisure relates to the statutory duty for local authorities under the Education and Inspection Act 2006 to provide activities and facilities. The duty states that for young people aged 13 to 19 and young people aged 20 to 24 with learning disabilities:-

“A local authority in England must so far as reasonably practical, secure for qualifying young person in the authority area access to :-

1 In April 2011 the Local Authority restructured its Children and Younger Adults services based on localities rather than districts, particularly with the amalgamation of Bolsover with North East Derbyshire, Derbyshire Dales north with High Peak and Derbyshire Dales south with South Derbyshire. 2 a) Sufficient educational leisure-time activities which are for the improvement of their wellbeing, and sufficient facilities for such activities; and b) Sufficient recreational leisure-time activities which are for the improvement of their wellbeing, and sufficient facilities for such activities”

Local Authorities can either provide these activities or assist others in securing the activities and venues and must publicise information on youth activities and keep this up to date.

The categorisation of individual sessions is not always clear and judgements on primary focus have been made for this analysis.

From the data provided an analysis of the number of hours available per week is identified, broken down by sector and locality with a county breakdown in the final section.

The mapping process at this stage does not identify the number participants or the actual participant hours. This is available elsewhere for the statutory provision but the local authority duty does not include monitoring of attendance for non-statutory provision.

During a week across Derbyshire the findings have shown a total of 2047 hours of provision for young people delivered through a total of 826 sessions. Sessions varied in length from 1.5 hours to 5 hours

Of the total number of session 30% is delivered by the statutory service and 70% by the voluntary and community sector.

Of the hours of delivery 63% is dedicated to recreational leisure of which 30% is delivered by the statutory service and 70% by the voluntary sector. There is 37% dedicated to educational leisure with 26% of that statutory activity and 74% voluntary sector.

For both services with the exception of South Derbyshire/South Dales statutory service the majority of sessions provide open access youth provision.

The spread of provision across the week is weighted Monday to Thursday with a drop off towards Friday evening and the weekend.

Across both services the highest percentage of delivery is from a building base.

In summary these initial findings identify that across the county there are a minimum of 2047 hours of youth provision available per week. It is also estimated that there are a substantial amount of further activity hours provided by other voluntary, community and independent providers outside of this report contributing to the statutory duty to provide:- a) Sufficient educational leisure time activities. b) Sufficient recreational leisure time activities 18
