Gateshead Young Womens Outreach Project were sucessful in an application for a research grant from Childrens Workforce Development Council (CWDC)
This resulted in a group of young women researchers looking at what an excellent intergrated service delivery feels and looks like from a young persons point of view.
The report is focused on the findings of the research project.
The young women then went on to produce a presentation of those findings and are currently presenting to workers from a wide range of agencies.
and are hoping to produce a DVD of the presentation.
