The document discusses several health and well-being issues affecting young people in the UK, including:
1) High rates of intentional self-harm requiring hospitalization among 13-18 year olds, especially females.
2) Teenage pregnancy rates remain high in some areas of the country.
3) While drug use among youth has declined, early drug experimentation continues to be a problem.
4) Smoking rates among 15 year olds have decreased but remain an important health issue.
This document discusses the links between alcohol use and risky sexual behavior among teenagers. It provides evidence that teenagers are more likely to engage in risky sex, such as unprotected sex, when under the influence of alcohol. Specifically, studies have shown that teenagers are less likely to use contraception when drinking and more likely to have sex they later regret. The document also notes that while drinking and risky sex often occur together, the relationship is complex, and risky behavior tends to cluster among some teenagers. It concludes by discussing the importance of addressing alcohol use and sex education together in schools to help teenagers develop skills to make healthy choices.

A life-course approach to preventing drug and alcohol risks, presented at the Home Office's International Crime & Policing Conference 2016.
Presentation from Mentor CEO Michael O'Toole and Andrew Brown, formerly of DrugScope and now working with Mind and PHE.
Substance abuse prevention requires a comprehensive approach that addresses risk and protective factors from early childhood through young adulthood. Schools play a key role in prevention by delivering developmentally appropriate programming to reduce substance use. The Safe Schools/Healthy Students initiative integrates substance abuse prevention activities into a collaborative, district-wide approach that builds community commitment and reduces related risk factors. Evaluation found the initiative helped decrease student substance use and increased protective factors.

This workshop will focus on different exemplary practices of substance use prevention and intervention, focused on e-cigarette & marijuana. Experts from TUPE programs and SBHCs will present examples of youth leadership in substance use prevention, screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT) protocols, and school policies to address substance use from a restorative framework. We will review recent prevalence data from the California Healthy Kids Survey, discuss the risks of youth vaping and marijuana use according to the research literature, examine the current policies and regulations at the federal, state and school level, and share educational resources for parents, students and educators.

According to a 2009 report from the Health and Social Care Information Centre, there has been an overall decrease in drug use reported by 11-15 year olds in England since 2001. Cannabis was the most widely used drug among this age group in 2008, though its use has also decreased over time. Pupils who had truanted or been excluded from school were more likely to report regular drug use than those who had not. The report also presented statistics on drug misuse outcomes for those under age 16, such as hospital admissions for mental health or behavioral disorders due to drugs and admissions for drug poisonings.
Smoking, drinking and drug use by young people in EnglandMentor
This document summarizes data on smoking, drinking, and drug use among young people in England. It finds that while these behaviors have generally been decreasing among youth, many still engage in risky behaviors. Cannabis is the most commonly used illegal drug. Factors like family environment, personality traits, and peer influences can increase youths' risk, while protective factors like strong family relationships and doing well in school can decrease risk. Schools are encouraged to help keep students safe through education programs.
The document summarizes research on youth smoking in the UK. It finds that nearly 90% of regular smokers start before age 21, and there are over 3 million youth smokers in the UK. Despite laws raising the minimum purchase age to 18, children still obtain cigarettes from shops and vending machines. The document discusses a study conducted at a non-smoking college campus, where students were surveyed about their smoking behaviors and influences. It was found that 2 in 3 students smoke daily, though 55% of those who tried cigarettes did not enjoy them. Experts interviewed expressed concerns that youth smoking is a growing problem and can lead to use of other substances.
This document summarizes key points from the UK's new alcohol strategy. It focuses on preventing underage drinking and binge drinking among youth. The strategy aims to delay regular drinking onset among 11-15 year olds, reduce harms for young drinkers, and create a culture where youth feel they can have fun without alcohol. It will provide guidance on safe drinking levels and launch a social marketing campaign to shift social norms. The government will also convene experts to review evidence on alcohol's health effects on youth development.
Kenneth Clarke MP stated that the war on drugs over the past 30 years has not achieved much progress and that we are plainly losing the fight against drugs. However, recent data shows that drug use among both 11-15 year olds and 16-24 year olds has been falling. While cannabis remains the most widely used illicit drug in both age groups, overall drug use has declined for teenagers and young adults in the past year according to surveys from 2011-2012 in England and Wales.
This document discusses teen alcohol and drug abuse. It begins with an abstract that defines substance abuse and notes that alcohol is the most commonly abused substance among youth. It then provides statistics on underage drinking in the US and its consequences, including over 5,000 deaths per year among those under 21 from alcohol-related causes. The document notes that drinking is widespread among adolescents according to surveys. It also discusses risk factors for teen substance abuse like family history of addiction and early initiation of use before the brain is fully developed. The rest of the document consists of sample survey questions about alcohol and cigarette use that could be given to teens to assess behaviors and perceptions.
- Smoking rates among 15-year-olds in Richmond are the highest in England, so services must target this age group. Pregnant women smoking rates increased last year, so services need to help more quit.
- The document analyzes how stop smoking services in Richmond can better support groups most affected by smoking, such as youth, pregnant women, and men.
- Due to declining performance of stop smoking services in Richmond, the equality impact assessment is being done to ensure the services support all groups equitably.
Young people are an important group to analyze for drug use trends for several reasons. First, most people begin using drugs during their youth and prevention efforts are most effective for this group. Second, young people often react quickly to changes in drug availability, so their drug use can indicate shifts in broader markets. Third, early drug use can lead to negative health and social outcomes later in life. School surveys are a cost-effective way to collect data, but don't capture out-of-school youth. Cannabis use has declined significantly in recent years among young people in the UK, preceding a similar decline in the general population.
The document discusses a social project called "Young Addicts" in Oxfordshire, England. [1] It was set up by volunteers to help young people battling addiction and provides confidential support and treatment. [2] The project aims to raise awareness of addiction issues and provides a resource for those struggling as well as their loved ones. [3] It has helped many in the local community by providing a confidential space to seek advice from professionals.

This document summarizes key findings from an NSPCC study on child abuse and neglect in the UK over the past 30 years. The study compared data from 2009 interviews of 1,761 18-24 year olds and 2,275 11-17 year olds to data from 1998-1999 interviews. Key findings include:
1) Around one in four 18-24 year olds reported experiences of severe physical violence, sexual abuse, or neglect in childhood.
2) Levels of physical, sexual, and verbal abuse reported by 18-24 year olds have declined over the past 30 years.
3) Almost one in five 11-17 year olds reported being physically attacked, raped/sex
Smoking, drinking and drug use by young people in England [2017 update]Mentor
The document summarizes trends in smoking, drinking, and drug use among young people in England. It finds that rates of alcohol and tobacco consumption are declining, while rates of e-cigarette use are rising. Drug use peaks at age 15, with cannabis being the most commonly used illicit drug. New psychoactive substances were popular before being banned, but rates of use for these and other illicit drugs are generally low. The document advocates for comprehensive education programs in schools to build resilience, promote accurate social norms, and teach life skills to reduce substance use among youth.
The document summarizes key findings from a survey of 245,195 young people in the UK about substance misuse. Some key points:
- Half of young people had never drank alcohol, and most who had did not get drunk regularly. Around a third of those who drank had been drunk in the previous four weeks. Alcohol use increased with age.
- The majority of young people had never smoked or had only smoked once. Smoking and drug use increased with age.
- Only a minority of young people had used drugs, most commonly cannabis. Drug use was higher among those who did not receive or found unhelpful drug advice in school.
- Young people involved in positive activities were less likely
The document provides information about addiction services in Oxfordshire, England. Young Addiction is a volunteer organization that researches alcohol and drug addiction among youth. The Specialist Community Addictions Service (SCAS) is an interdisciplinary team that provides assessment, treatment, rehabilitation, and family support services for addictive behaviors. Statistics show that drug and alcohol abuse among teens is rising, with the average age of heroin use being 15 years old.
Raising the minimum legal age to purchase tobacco products from 18 to 21 will significantly reduce tobacco use among youth and young adults. Studies show that nearly all adult smokers begin smoking by age 18, so increasing the minimum age makes it harder for teenagers to access cigarettes. Data from communities that have raised the minimum age to 21 show significant decreases in smoking among high schoolers. The document outlines various studies and estimates from health organizations that predict raising the age will improve public health outcomes like fewer premature deaths and lower rates of infant mortality over time.
Adolescents aged 10-19 face significant health risks due to risky behaviors like early sexual activity. Nearly 35% of the global disease burden has its roots in adolescence. In Nepal, adolescents account for 24.19% of the population but lack awareness of sexual and reproductive health. Data shows many girls are married and become mothers during adolescence, and contraceptive use is low. Improving access to and use of contraception for adolescents is key to addressing these health issues.
1) Drinking rates among young people in England have declined, with 13% drinking in the last week compared to 26% in 2001, though 1 in 5 drink weekly by age 15.
2) Parents and friends are the main sources of alcohol for young people, while parties have become more common venues for drinking.
3) While most young people see their parents as disapproving of underage drinking, nearly a quarter think it's okay to get drunk weekly by age 15.
Action for Children is a charity established in 1869 that provides services to over 300,000 children, young people, and families across the UK. This document discusses the challenges faced by vulnerable young people during the transition to adulthood, after leaving care between ages 16-17. Research showed these youth are most at risk of homelessness and poor housing long-term due to lack of support, mental health issues, and unsuitable returns to family homes. Younger disabled people and those with behavioral issues are especially vulnerable. The support system needs reform to better prioritize mental health, continue therapeutic care into early adulthood, and strengthen family support through this critical transition period.

IYS East BYC power point 'power words' - 18 March 2014FDYW
The British Youth Council (BYC) aims to empower young people aged 25 and under in the UK to have a say in decisions that affect them. BYC supports young people to get involved locally and nationally through networks like Local Youth Councils and the UK Youth Parliament. BYC also works with the UK government on initiatives like the Youth Select Committee and National Scrutiny Group to enable youth participation in public policymaking. Additionally, BYC helps local authorities in the UK promote youth involvement and provides resources, training, and networking opportunities for young people and youth workers.
The document discusses the Achievement Coaches program, which aims to support at-risk youth in staying engaged in education. It is delivered across multiple UK regions. Outputs show over 800 youth served, with 85% improving attitudes/motivation and 60% boosting attainment. Partners include Groundwork for delivery and FPM for coach training and accreditation. The program involves individualized support and group work tailored to each young person's needs. Coaches complete a Level 4 Certificate in Achievement Coaching through a blended learning process involving group training, reflective practice, and assessment of both knowledge and practical skills.
Fiona Blacke discusses the challenges facing youth policy and work in the current macro policy context of reducing, reforming, and reprioritizing public services. She argues that youth work will not see strong guidance, uniform delivery, financial certainty, or support for ineffective programs. Instead, youth work must claim its territory by proving its value through social enterprise rather than just service or voluntarism, and provide unambiguous leadership during ambiguous times.
Youth Work in Schools - What we have found. Fiona Blacke, CEO, The NYAFDYW
The CEO of The NYA discusses the findings of a commission into youth work in schools. The commission found that 60% of schools currently engage in some form of collaboration with youth workers. However, most partnerships focus on targeted programs rather than open access youth work. Benefits of collaboration include improved student participation, behavior, and attendance. Barriers include a lack of resources and differing perceptions of the roles of youth work and education. The commission's recommendations call for greater recognition of youth work, improved collaboration and communication between schools and youth organizations, and increased understanding of how youth work can support students.

School Leadership & Partnerships - Brian Lightman, ASCLFDYW
This document discusses the goals of the Great Education Debate being conducted by the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL). The debate aims to engage education stakeholders in establishing a coherent long-term vision for the education system that can withstand political changes. It will gather evidence over the next six months on topics like the purpose of education, leadership, teaching and structures/accountability. The interim findings will be presented in early 2014 to help evaluate progress and next steps in fully involving school leaders in shaping the future of education.
This document discusses the challenges facing services for young people in the UK, including rapid changes in local authority responsibilities, funding cuts, and increased demand. It notes the risk that only non-statutory prevention and early intervention services will continue to be cut. The document also outlines priorities for reforming youth services, such as understanding teenagers' discrete needs, developing step-up/step-down programs, giving young people a voice, and addressing gaps for young adults aged 18+. It argues leadership, quality, transformation, and sustainability are key conditions for successfully changing youth services.
Early Interventions - Carey Oppenheim, Chief Executive, Early Intervention Fo...FDYW
The document discusses early intervention and its importance. It notes that failing to intervene early costs taxpayers significantly through issues like youth unemployment, children in care, and crime. Early intervention programs can address problems early through support for children and families, saving substantial costs compared to dealing with later issues. The Early Intervention Foundation advocates for assessing and advising on evidence-based early intervention programs in order to improve outcomes and reduce costs for public services and society.
Early Interventions - Anne Longfield, OBE, Chief Executive, 4ChildrenFDYW
This document discusses supporting young people to flourish through a holistic, life cycle approach. It identifies risk factors like family issues, poor school achievement, and community disadvantages that can lead to problems. Protective factors like family bonds, positive role models, and learning skills promote positive outcomes. Early intervention is important, like family support and parenting programs. Community services can help through outreach, relationships, and adapting support. The task is changing systems and attitudes to prioritize young people through joined-up, preventative services focused on strengths and problem-solving instead of reacting to crises. Leadership, collaboration, skills and funding are needed to enable this approach.
This document discusses approaches to measuring social impact through shared measurement. It begins by providing background on the increasing pressure on charities to demonstrate impact and issues with isolated measurement efforts. It then defines shared measurement as using common tools and processes to track outcomes across similar organizations. The document presents the Journey to Employment framework as an example of a shared approach to measuring employability. It also describes NPC's Well-Being Measure tool and shows example results. Finally, it discusses the CAADA system as another case of embedded shared measurement across domestic violence services.
The participation age in England is being raised in two phases, with full participation required until age 17 by 2013 and until age 18 by 2015. This applies to all young people aged 16-17 without a level 3 qualification and requires them to participate full-time in education, work-based learning like an apprenticeship, or full-time work with part-time education. Raising the age aims to help more youth gain skills for jobs and benefit both individuals through higher earnings and the economy through increased productivity. Local authorities, schools, colleges, and employers all have new duties to promote participation and identify non-participants.
This document summarizes a discussion between representatives from higher education institutions about the challenges and opportunities facing youth and community work courses in England. It notes the current ideological attacks on public services and academia. It introduces the representatives and discusses the challenges higher education institutions face in a changing job market and education system. Ideas are proposed for how higher education can better support the youth workforce through curriculum development, placement opportunities, and collaboration with sector organizations. Developing a joint agenda between higher education and youth organizations is emphasized.
The speaker is asking youth services to support the Troubled Families program, which aims to change the lives of 120,000 troubled families by 2015 through family intervention. The program will identify families with long histories of problems and actively work with them using assertive, authoritative approaches rather than just making services available. It will focus on changing behaviors and breaking intergenerational cycles rather than just reacting to problems. The speaker argues this intensive, challenging approach is needed to truly change families in a way that previous programs have failed to do. Youth services are well positioned to identify families and take an assertive role in supporting this new approach.
Developing local outcomes chyps workshop 2012, v2FDYW
This workshop aims to help participants develop local outcomes by considering the Young Foundation's framework of outcomes for young people. The document discusses the costs of poor outcomes for youth and examples of outcomes that could provide cost neutral services. It also summarizes Enfield's service review which examined quality, effectiveness and resources, and their priorities, principles and strategy of early help, evidence-based interventions and greater service integration. Enfield's focus on improving outcomes for vulnerable groups and examples of improved outcomes are also presented.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

age of 14, and three quarters before their mid-20s
• As part of the ONS wellbeing programme, a children and young people’s wellbeing
project has been set up to ensure that the Measuring National Well-being

9. Children and Young People’s
Health Outcomes Strategy
Secretary of State for Health asked the independent CYP Health Outcomes Forum to:
• Identify the health outcomes which matter most for children and young people,
• How well they are supported by the existing indicators in the Public Health and NHS
Outcomes Frameworks, and
• How the different parts of the health (and wider system) will contribute and work
together in the delivery of these outcomes.
10. The Forum’s 8 themes
•Health outcomes that matter most for children, young people and their families
• Putting children, young people and their families at the heart of what happens
• Acting early and intervening at the right time
• Integration and partnership
• Safe and sustainable services
• Workforce, education and training
• Knowledge and evidence
• Leadership, accountability and assurance
11. Young People’s Voices and Rights
The Forum found:
• Young people felt that insufficient attention was paid to their health and well-being
needs and
• Too many public health campaigns are aimed at adults
The Forum said:
• Young people have the right to be involved not just in their own health, but the wider
system
• Young people want and need to be involved in the commissioning, design and
development of public health campaigns and services aimed at young people
• Young people need relevant, age-appropriate information to enable them to make
informed choices and take responsibility for their own health and well-being
12. Overview of key Forum
recommendations
• 9 new indicators for the Public Health Outcomes Framework and changes to other
indicators.
• 5 new indicators for the NHS Outcomes Framework and changes to other indicators.
• A number aimed at organisations within the health system, e.g. NHS CB, PHE, the
MHRA, NICE, CQC, Monitor, on the contribution that they need to make in order that
improved outcomes can be delivered .
13. NHS Outcomes Framework
Proposed New Indicators:
1. Integrated care – developing a new composite measure.
2. Effective transition from children’s to adult services.
3. Age-appropriate services – with particular reference to teenagers.
4. Time from first NHS presentation to diagnosis or start of treatment
A range of other ‘stretch’ indicators, for example:
• By 2013/14, DH and the NHS CB should incorporate the views of children and young
people into existing national patient surveys in all care settings.
14. Public Health Outcomes
Framework
Proposed New Indicators:
• Number of children and young people living in decent housing
• Educational attainment and progress for all children and young people with LTCs
• Proportion of children who experience bullying
• Proportion of children and young people with mental health problems who experience
stigma and discrimination.
15. Public Health Outcomes
Framework (cont’d)
• Proportion of children and young people who play games on a computer 2+ hours on
weekdays
• Proportion of mothers with mental health problems, including postnatal depression
• Proportion of parents where parent child interaction promotes secure attachment in
children age 0-2
• Proportion of parents with appropriate levels of self-efficacy
• Children, young people and families have access to age-appropriate health
information to support them to lead healthy lives
16. Next steps
• DH, with organisations in the new system, to produce the action plan
• SofS to launch the Children and Young People’s Health Outcomes Strategy before
Christmas
• Establish new governance arrangements for delivering the Strategy, with CMO chaired
Children and Young People’s Health Board
• Re-establish the Forum under Christine Lenehan and Ian Lewis as co-Chairs, with
amended membership
• First meeting of the new Forum 13 February 2013
• First Annual Summit to be held in September 2013.
