Sports Development

Sports Development within the Staffordshire Youth Offending Service (SYOS) aims to work with key partners to achieve a number of objectives for young people accessing sport and active recreation within their own community.

The main anticipated outcomes include:

Increasing participation in sport and active recreation.
Contributing to the reduction in crime and anti social behaviour
Providing positive volunteering pathways into sport and active recreation.

The ways in which these outcomes are achieved rely upon working in partnership with a variety of statutory, voluntary and private providers to achieve shared outcomes and identifying gaps in provision in targeted areas throughout Staffordshire.

These key partners include:

Sport Across Staffordshire and Stoke on Trent - Local county sports partnership www.sportacrossstaffordshire.co.uk
Local authorities Sports Development departments
School Sports Partnerships (SSP's)
National governing bodies of sport (NGB's)
Community Safety Partnerships
Community and Learning Partnerships
Connexions

A referral system for practitioners to identify young people who would benefit from accessing sport and active recreation.
