Meeting your needs:

Nationally & locally young people have asked that youth information: Advice: Counselling: Support Services meet their stated needs by:

Treating us with respect
Make it easy for us to access the service
Have all the help we need in one place
Provide a welcoming and age appropriate space
Provide support for young people up to age 25
Have skilled workers who take us seriously
Involve us in decision making

So these are the needs we aspire to at Clued-up

“It takes a lot of courage for us to turn up at a service and ask for help, especially if we are dealing with a range of problems or going through a crisis. We need to know what we can expect when we walk through the door, and that we will be treated fairly and consistently.”
