Hi there
I work for Sheffield Futures and the team which undertakes this work is a multi-agency service called Community Youth Teams (CYT). The reason we get in touch with a young person is to ask the young person we are working with if they are in education, employment or training. We are required to do this by the government. Our aim is to help the young person into education, employment or training. To clarify what we do and the process we take, all our CYT staff are required to wear their identification badge which is shown when the worker makes a house call. Before this even happens though, the CYT worker will try to make contact with the young person via a phone call. If the young person cannot be contacted this way, the young person will receive a letter which gives the young person another opportunity to provide the information needed. The worker will never call round a young person's home without first phoning or writing to them. Once a call has been made to a young person's home and the young person is still not available, the CYT worker will leave service information and contact details.
Above all, this is about providing an opportunity for the young person to get the right help should they need it.
Thanks
