Our Career Connect Youth Agreement explains exactly what young people can expect from us and the services that we deliver.
The Youth Agreement is based on feedback from young people we have worked with across our services.
We also designed it with reference to Article 12 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, which outlines the fundamental rights of every child, regardless of their race, religion or abilities.
The Career Connect Youth agreement explains:
- When, how and why we include young people in our services
- What young people can expect from us.
Youth Agreement
We will ensure our services are:

The views of young people will be listened to.
