Objectives for Partnership Working

Partnership Working objectives and outcomes may vary between different local action plans; however, most areas have the following common objectives.

Improving access to all-age guidance and learning provision
Developing guidance provision which responds to the needs of specific target groups, including disadvantaged and disengaged individuals, who are unlikely to access services by traditional means
Building each individual’s capacity to make informed decisions in learning, training and work
Building the organisational capacity of community guidance partners to deliver services that respond to the needs of current and potential service users – supporting the integration of guidance into all learning and training
Establishing and supporting a local framework which:
- integrates all-age guidance with Community Planning and Community Learning and Development
- informs action plans to improve and develop community-based guidance activity
Ensuring that the contribution of all-age guidance services within local responses to national policy is recognised.
Developing the national profile of guidance activity
Utilising local resources effectively through focussed and innovative partnership activity, thus ensuring shared ownership and, wherever possible, shared resourcing of Partnership Working activities
