challenges and the greatest risk of poor life chances. The partnership will use its collective, strategic influence to draw in additional external funding to the city in the pursuit of these goals, including the potential use of a social impact bond model and it will champion a Sheffield Pledge to Young People where the local authority, employers, schools, providers and youth organisations commit to helping improve the outcomes of the city’s young people through a range of initiatives. Community Youth Team It is proposed that SCC commissions, along with other agencies in the investment partnership, a new Targeted Community Youth programme to connect with those teenagers and young adults most at risk of behaviour that harms themselves or the communities in which they live, who are more likely to disengage from education, employment and training and, who need extra support to progress to independence and work. The service will be charged with building the necessary trust and relationships that these young people need and encouraging and supporting them in their chosen progression routes. This service will bring together, in a single commission, the highly successful engagement and intervention work of the existing Community Youth Teams. Delivery will be community-based and offer a range of approaches to support the progression of an estimated 1,500-2000 young people every year through a combination of group work, street-based interventions, engagement activities and one-to-one mentoring. SCC will invest in a five-year contract with the proviso that the partnership and its delivery agent will, together, secure external funds and social investment to match the council’s investment in targeted support. The new service will be subject to open tender using an outcomes-based approach that is informed by local intelligence, performance data and strategic priorities. The commission is likely to have TUPE implications relating to some staff that are currently part of the Community Youth Teams. TUPE regulations require that staff transferring from one employer to another have their existing terms and conditions protected in law. Any changes affecting existing staff in, or associated with, the Community Youth Teams would be subject to further detailed consultation with the affected employees and their representative trade unions. One Stop Shop for People Star House has been grown successfully as a city-centre location for advice, help and support to the city’s young people, particularly those who need these services most. A wide range of services for young people organised by the voluntary and community sector, the city council, health and South Yorkshire Police are delivered
