Question to Kent County Council, 21 July: Youth Services

July 21, 2011 9:03 AM
Originally published by Liberal Democrats on Kent County Council

Question by Mr D S Daley to the Cabinet Member for Customer & Communities

"The Cabinet Member for Customer & Communities is reported as having said that the Youth Service proposals "... are intended to transform the way we deliver services to young people so that we can continue to provide a first-class service...". As I understand it you are expecting volunteers and Kent's voluntary sector to rush to the challenge.

"Will the Cabinet Member inform this Council of the results of the market testing undertaken with Kent's voluntary sector and local community groups prior to the development of the Kent Youth Service Commissioning Model which has satisfied him that there is the interest to ensure locally provided first class youth services; and in the absence of any prudent market testing, do you intend to carry on with your closure programme before you are sure youth services will be taken up by local appropriately qualified volunteers and not a few 'professional' (non-county) providers?"
