Youth Report Card

About the Youth Report Card 

The National Youth Agency Youth Report Card summarises – on one sheet of paper – local performance on 25 National Indicators directly relevant to young people. It is a valuable and powerful tool developed with the input of local authorities to enable them to measure their performance against national benchmarks. The card is free to each local authority on request.

Key features include:

• a one-page summary of local performance
• a tool to aid local authorities, including elected members
• highlighting good performance and areas for improvement
• an indication of overall direction for the local authority.

The Youth Report Card builds on the extensive work the National Youth Agency has carried out over many years on auditing local authority youth services and improving performance in the youth sector.

Benefits

• It tells you at a glance where performance is good, bad and somewhere in between.
• It helps you ask the right questions.
• It enables young people to engage with the right programme, and on their terms.

“It’s a good result for my IYS team and will cheer them all up – great to see the information in one place, a
superb piece of work.” Steve Power, Manager Integrated Youth Services, London Borough of Havering.

Statistics are available for each local authority and can be downloaded here.
