There are some actions which are not being progressed this year due to either prioritisation of other actions which means they can’t be undertaken this year or financial constraints. These actions are: Key Area 4 (vi) Exemplars of effective practice should be identified by EA youth Sector and voluntary sector teams and Key Area 4 (vii) EA should establish a formal mechanism through which Area Learning Communities (ALCs) and Youth Service Local Area Groups (LAGs) and Youth Service Regional Area Groups (RAGs) can form strategic links and share effective practice.
