Region Portfolio: Delivering the PLUS strategy for the Youth Justice Board

The PLUS Strategy is the Youth Justice Board’s literacy and numeracy strategy for young people at risk of (re-)offending.  It is a partnership between the Youth Justice Board, DfES and Arts Council England (all of whom fund the project) and is an integral part of the ‘Skills for Life’ Strategy.

 

PLUS works with young people aged up to 18 and with practitioners in a range of settings such as custody, pupil referral units, schools and learning support units, FE Colleges, Intensive Supervision and Surveillance Programmes, Youth Offending Teams and preventative programmes.

 

The PLUS strategy has five key strands: Resources; Learning & Development; Information and Advice; Research and Evaluation; Promotion and Advocacy.

 

ECOTEC’s role as TA Unit is to:

 

• Provide assistance to young people who have not achieved in line with their mainstream peers in relevant and innovative learning programmes.
• Produce an extensive and unique range of learning materials designed to tackle the literacy and numeracy needs of young people.
• Mobilise local networks in the effective design and delivery of educational programmes for young people at risk within a multi-disciplinary context.

 

Manage the Technical Assistant Unit to ensure faithful implementation and to quality assure outputs and processes.
