The Young Person’s Guarantee is a partnership that is committed to ensuring that young people in Scotland do not fall through the cracks. This fabulous quote from a young person involved in an @ENABLEScotland programme highlights the importance of trusted support. #YPGuarantee

The focus of our second Insight Report is on describing how the OFN portfolio enables young people to identify, secure and sustain fair work when they are ready

We had 120 student lawyers from @aberdeenuni show up to hear about all things #ACEs last night. Spreading the message of hope and compassion with @Prev_Justice alongside partners @TraumaAwareLaw was a privilege.
It’s about ‘showing up’ for people. The students did just that 🙏

[Our Future Now @OurFuture_Now]

The OFN portfolio has built extensive relationships with employers & can support them to commit and participate in the #ypguarantee. Our video👇 shows a fantastic case study on DHL Edinburgh which really highlights the value of partnerships between the third sector & employers.

Despite the positive response from @scotgov
to the Covid-19 youth unemployment crisis, some young people may fall through the cracks. The Third sector play a crucial role in ensuring no young person is left behind.
