Positive about Young People
Positive about Young People is a partnership between Warwickshire County Council and Warwickshire Police. Our aim is to prevent disaffection amongst young people and remedy it where it occurs through a community based multi agency approach.
Our aims are to:
- Reduce school exclusions
- Reduce the number of young people going into care
- Reduce youth crime and offending
- Reduce unauthorised absences, particularly amongst 10-13 year olds
Most importantly we provide services that young people across Warwickshire want, need and enjoy!

Holiday activity play programme
Positive about Young People defines commissioning as the strategic activity of assessing needs, resources and current services, and developing a strategy to make best use of available resources to meet identified needs. It is essential that the commissioning process be based on an assessment of local needs.
Partners are given the opportunity to express an interest in the commissioning programme or apply for funding through the bidding arrangements. In this way Positive about Young People are able to market the Holiday Activity Play Programme and attract interest for potential funding from a range of organisations ensuring the needs of young people remain at the forefront of their agendas.
For more information please contact Stephen Davenport, Development Manager - Commissioning
