The purpose of this survey was:

• to provide a position paper on ‘Management information in local authority youth services’; and


• to highlight good practice in the provision, use and impact of this information.

The Welsh Assembly Government asked Estyn to look at:

• the extent to which local authority youth services collect outcome data on the skills that young people learn and develop, including the use of national awarding body accreditation, and how that data is used as part of management information;


• the extent to which there are links to performance management and service improvement;


• arrangements that local authorities and principal youth officers have made for the management of information, at the levels at which it is collected;


• the outcome data identified so far through Demonstrating Success;


• the use of Welsh Local Government Association data for analysis; and


• examples of good practice that lead to positive service improvements and outcomes for young people aged 11-25.
