BRAP produced a report, ‘Missing in action? Why youth provision needs rethinking – before it’s too late‘, in November 2016.
BRAP says: “The crisis in youth provision – although now more pronounced than has been the case for decades – is not new. Services have been failing young people for years – and the appalling thing is, if you were a teenager failed by youth services during, say, the late-90s or early-2000s, you are now excluded from the majority of youth programmes because you are too old!”
