## Notice

As part of the West Somerset OA funding, SCC and the DfE propose to formally commission a piece of research which will look at what youth provision, which we have defined as personal, social, economic and the development of young people aged between 12-17 years, is required to support them in their personal development. The aim of the programme is to improve social mobility for children and young people from disadvantaged and ordinary working families.
