Young people are the future of Hong Kong. It is our responsibility to promote the healthy development

of young people.

The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government provides a continuum of preventive,

developmental and remedial welfare services for young people through the non-governmental

organisations subvented by the Social Welfare Department (SWD), with the aim of nurturing our youths

to become the pillars of our community. To help the public better understand the direction and strategies

of the youth welfare services, the Youth Section of the SWD produced in April 2004 a booklet entitled

“An Overview of Youth Welfare Services”, which was well received by the welfare sector and the

community. We have updated the booklet by incorporating new initiatives. It is hoped that the updated

booklet will enable you to gain a better understanding of the latest developments in the youth welfare

services.

To meet the changing needs of young people, multi-disciplinary and cross-sector collaboration is vital.

I hope this booklet will further promote multi-disciplinary and cross-sector collaboration with a view to

creating a favourable environment for the development of young people, and allowing them to realise

their potential, take up their responsibilities and serve the community.

Service Integration —Providing ComprehensiveService in an Integrated Way

• Address the multifarious and changing needs

of young people through a holistic, integrated

mode of service.

and other resources under the same

management to provide one-stop service

with a view to avoiding compartmentalisation

and fragmentation of service as well as

duplication of resources.

• Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) rendering school

social work service will be funded to implement the Project in

the schools where they are serving, after their proposals have

been approved.

• The role of the Social Welfare Department is to vet the funding

applications and coordinate the overall implementation of the

Project.

3. After School Care Programme• After School Care Programme (ASCP) provides half-day supportive

care services for children aged six to 12 whose parents are unable

to provide proper care for them after school due to work or other

reasons. Services of the ASCP include homework guidance, parents

guidance, education, skill learning and other social activities.

ASCP centres are operated on a self-financing basis.

Subsidy for After School Care ProgrammeWith effect from September 2000, the Social Welfare

Department has been providing full fee waiving or half fee

reduction allocations to help parents who are financially unable

to afford the services and are unable to take care of their children

after school as a result of being engaged in open employment

or employment-related retraining/attachment programmes.

Eligible parents will be granted full fee waiving or half-fee

reduction for the service according to their monthly family

household income. With effect from 2005-06, the recurrent

funding for provision of fee-waiving places has been increased

from $10 million to $15 million.

B. Timely Support

1. Integrated Children and Youth Services Centres• The 1994 "Report on Review of Children and Youth Services

Centre Services" suggested adopting a holistic and integrated

mode of service to meet the changing needs of young

people effectively.

• In the past years, non-governmental organisations have been

setting up Integrated Children and Youth Services Centres

(ICYSCs) by re-deploying the resources of existing children and

youth centres, outreaching social work service and school social

work service.

• Under one single management structure, ICYSCs provide young

people aged six to 24 with a wide range of services through the

flexible deployment of manpower and other resources as well

as adopting different service models/approaches. Services

provided include personal guidance and counselling, supportive

services for young people in disadvantaged circumstances,

socialisation programmes as well as activities on the development

of social responsibility and competence.

Progress of Setting upIntegrated Children andYouth Services Centres

• In view of the worsening of youth problems and proven

effectiveness of ICYSCs, the Government earmarked

additional recurrent resources of $70 million in the 2001

Budget to expedite the formation of additional ICYSCs.

• As at Dec 2005, there were a total of 133 ICYSCs over the

territory.

Modernisation Programme of ICYSCs• In recent years, the Government has been investing large amount

of resources to strengthen youth services so as to meet the

changing service needs of young people. Apart from expediting

the formation of ICYSCs, it is also noted that the provision of

corresponding hardware support for the service is equally

important.

• To benefit more young people, the Lotteries Fund and the Hong

Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust have earmarked a total of $400

million to jointly implement a modernisation programme of

ICYSCs. It is estimated that some 80 ICYSCs will benefit from

this programme.

• Under this programme, ICYSCs will have great flexibility to

choose better fitting-out and furnishing materials, adopt a more

creative design as well as purchase trendy furniture and

equipment to make the centres more appealing to young people

and better suit their needs with a view to enhancing service

quality and cost-effectiveness.

• The programme is implemented in three phases. Fund has been

approved in 2003-04 and 2004-05 for a total of 68 ICYSCs to

undergo modernisation, while the third round of invitation of

projects has been conducted in 2005-06.

2. District Youth Outreaching Social Work Teams• Outreaching social work service seeks to reach out to young

people who do not normally participate in conventional social

or youth activities and are vulnerable to negative influence with

a view to providing them with counselling and guidance. The

target group is young people aged 6 to 24.

• To ensure that young people services are providing

comprehensive assistance to youth in coping with the pressure

and challenges they encounter while growing up amidst

tremendous socio-economic changes in Hong Kong in the past

years, the Social Welfare Department has conducted a number

of consultations with non-governmental organisations, the Hong

Kong Council of Social Service, the Hong Kong Social Workers'

General Union and the Committee on Services for Youth at Risk.

Serving the changing needs of young people through the

formation of ICYSCs is recognised to be the right direction. On

the other hand, outreaching social work service is, to a certain

extent, effective in addressing the needs of high-risk youth and

handling issues of juvenile gang.

• In light of this, the Department set up 16 District Youth

Outreaching Social Work Teams in September 2002 by

restructuring the former outreaching social work teams to focus

on addressing the needs of high-risk youth and handling juvenile

gang problems.

4. Peer Counsellors Programme• Given that both local and overseas experiences show that peer

counsellors of a similar age are able to communicate more

effectively with young people especially those youth-at-risk and

provide positive influence for them through experience sharing,

the Government has implemented a Peer Counsellors

Programme with effect from January 2002 with an additional

allocation of $15.1 million per annum, in which 150 peer

counsellors are engaged to help Secondary Three school leavers

in making choices in life.

• The Committee on Services for Youth at Risk considered the

evaluation report submitted by Policy 21 Limited of the University

of Hong Kong on the Peer Counsellors Programme in June 2003

and recognised the effectiveness of the service. On the other

hand, the Committee concluded that this kind of programme

should best be provided in the form of 'Big Brother/Big Sister'

scheme by engaging senior students or sustained by core young

people services.

Counsellors of the hotline service will provide callers with

services that suit their needs, including telephone guidance and

counselling, interviews, referrals and special activities.

5. Overnight Outreaching Service, Crisis ResidentialService, All-night Drop-in Centre and OvernightLeisure and Recreational Facilities for Young People

Overnight Outreaching Service• To address the needs of young night drifters (YNDs) in a more

comprehensive manner, the Government has allocated an

additional recurrent expenditure of $22.4 million per annum

to extend the service hours and service focus of 18 ICYSCs

for the purpose of providing overnight outreaching service

for YNDs on a territory-wide basis from September 2001

onwards. The 18 ICYSCs may each recruit one additional

Assistant Social Work Officer and two Social Work Assistants

and are provided with recurrent and non-recurrent funding

to purchase vehicles, mobile phones as well as organise

activities for YNDs.

• With effective from August 2005, an additional of $13.56

million recurrent expenditure has been allocated to the 18

ICYSCs with extended services for YNDs to further enhance

their manpower with a view to assisting YNDs through more

timely identification of problems and intervention.

Crisis Residential ServiceWith regard to support service for YNDs, the Social Welfare

Department has secured a grant of $8.09 million from the

Lotteries Fund for the Youth Outreach to operate two

Crisis Residential Centres for two years starting from January

2001 to provide immediate residential and crisis intervention

services for youth-at-risk. To ensure the continuation of service,

the Social Welfare Department has approved an additional

recurrent allocation of $5 million for the Youth Outreach to

sustain the service upon the expiry of the Lotteries Fund grant.

In addition, the Department has approved an additional

allocation of $425,000 per year to the Hong Kong Student Aid

Society since May 2001 to make use of existing residential service

units for providing additional immediate residential support

for YNDs.

All-night Drop-in Centre — the Hang OutWith a Lotteries Fund grant of $16.3 million, the Social Welfare

Department has commissioned the Youth Outreach to run an

all-night drop-in centre – the Hang Out starting from July 2002

on a pilot basis for a period of three years to provide youth-at-

risk with 24-hour centre-based service as well as temporary

shelter and crisis residential support. The centre provides a safe

place for young people to hang out, calm down, meet with

social workers and stay the night so as to minimise the chance

of these youth falling prey to negative influence on the streets.

The centre offers different facilities including counselling rooms,

cyber café, recreational and cultural activity rooms, garden with

BBQ facilities, crisis residential unit, basketball field and rock-

climbing facilities.

In view that the centre was well-received by both the young

people and community during the pilot period with satisfactory

feedbacks from both the users and stakeholders, the project

has been extended for one more year from July 2005 to July

2006.

Overnight Leisure and Recreational Facilitiesfor Young PeopleSince July 2002, the Social Welfare Department and the Leisure

and Cultural Services Department have made available the Lung

Sum Avenue and Yuen Wo Road Indoor Recreation Centres in

North District and Sha Tin District respectively on a trial basis

and commissioned the Hong Kong Children and Youth Services,

the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui Welfare Council and the Yang

Memorial Methodist Social Service to organise overnight

activities for young people. Opening indoor recreation centres

at night aims at providing YNDs in the district with a safe place

to stay so as to minimise the chance of these young people

falling prey to negative influence on the streets. Through these

activities, young people service units can also build up

relationship with YNDs in the district to facilitate follow-up

counselling service and help them overcome their difficulties.

The Social Welfare Department and the Leisure and Cultural

Services Department will make available similar facilities at night

in other districts as need arises.

6. District Support Scheme for Children andYouth DevelopmentWith effect from 2005-06, the Social Welfare Department has

been provided with an annual recurrent new provision of $15

million for implementing the District Support Scheme for

Children and Youth Development (the Scheme) through District

Social Welfare Officers. The Scheme aims to address the

developmental needs of children and youth aged 0 to 24 in

disadvantaged circumstances in the districts. 40% of the new

resources will be allocated on project basis to cover programme

expenses and the remaining 60% will be distributed as direct

cash assistance to deprived children and youth on individual

item expenses to meet their developmental needs. The Scheme

has been implemented since September 2005.

C. Steering Young People back to theRight Course

1. Community Support Service Scheme• The Community Support Service Scheme (CSSS) aims at helping

chi ldren and juveni les cautioned under the Pol ice

Superintendents' Discretion Scheme to reintegrate into

mainstream education or work force and reduce their likelihood

of re-offending. Scope of service includes personal guidance

and counselling, treatment groups, skills training/education

groups, adventure groups, recreational activities and community

services. Currently, there are five CSSS teams over the territory,

which are all attached to ICYSCs.

• New resources of $7.98 million have been allocated in 2005-06

to enhance CSSS and the five teams of CSSS have correspondingly

been provided with additional manpower to strengthen their

existing services.

2. Counselling Centre for Psychotropic Substance Abusers• Psychotropic substance abuse among young people has

been a matter of wide concern within the community. The

seriousness of the problem is reflected in the ever-changing trend

and mode of drug abuse. Therefore, the government has to

keep adjusting and improving the mode of drug prevention,

therapeutic and rehabilitation service according to current trend

in drug abuse.

• The provision of Counselling Centres for Psychotropic Substance

Abusers is one of the community-based support services aimed

at helping substance abusers abstain from drug-taking habit

and develop healthy lifestyle through the adoption of different

modes of service such as casework and group counselling.

• The counselling centres also provide counselling and support

programmes for family members of the service users, and

professional training for allied professionals, such as teachers,

who may come into contact with drug abusers.

• With regard to anti-drug education and prevention, the

counselling centres also organise preventive education

programmes for secondary students and provide appropriate

counselling services for students in-need.

• In response to the service needs of psychotropic substance

abusers, two additional Counselling Centres for Psychotropic

Substance Abusers operated by non-governmental organisations

were set up in October 2002 with an additional recurrent

provision of $6.96 million from the Social Welfare Department.

That is, there are presently five counselling centres operating in

Kowloon East, Kowloon West, New Territories East, New

Territories West and Hong Kong Island respectively achieving

full coverage of service.

17

To meet the changing and multifarious needs of young people in a

more effective manner, professionals from different sectors all

recognise that cross-sector collaboration is essential. In light of

this, apart from actively strengthening current services and

implementing new measures in recent years, colleagues in the

welfare sector have also taken the initiative to join hands with the

education, health, law enforcement and labour sectors to implement

services in various areas.

1. Collaboration with the Education Sector

a. Smart Teen Challenge Project• The Smart Teen Challenge Project is jointly organised by the

Education and Manpower Bureau and various disciplinary forces,

including the Hong Kong Police Force, Civil Aid Service, Fire

Services Department, Correctional Services Department as well

as the Immigration Department, together with the participation

of school social workers to provide secondary students with

rigorous discipline and physical training.

• The purpose of this project is to develop students' self-discipline

and enhance their confidence, social skills and resilience through

the Smart Teen Challenge Camp, which offers discipline and

physical training as well as post-camp follow-up activities.

• The post-camp follow-up activities conducted by teachers and

school social workers can help consolidate learning experience

of students, sustain their improvement and guide them to set

goals using the SMART (Specific-Measurable-Achievable-

Realistic-Time phased) concept.

• Since its inception, the project has been widely welcomed

and applauded by schools and parents. It has been most

encouraging that according to different statistics, students

who have received discipline and physical training as well as

regular follow-up activities make sustained improvement in self-

discipline, confidence, interpersonal skills, resilience and self-

management.

b. Comprehensive Student Guidance Service• With the advent of the 21st Century, student guidance service

should, apart from meeting the developmental needs of

students, interface with the education and curriculum reform.

As such, student guidance service for primary school requires a

more thorough planning and strategy to help students achieve

the goals of "all-rounded development" and "lifelong learning".

• Comprehensive Student Guidance Service emphasizes that

student guidance service is part and parcel of a comprehensive

education. Therefore, schools should link up student guidance

service with other systems within the school to provide students

with a comprehensive and wide spectrum of counselling service

by professional student guidance personnel, school personnel,

parents and members of the community.

• Comprehensive Student Guidance Service comprises four areas,

namely policy and organisations, support service, education on

personal growth and supplementary service.

• Starting from the 2002/03 school year, all primary schools are

provided with an additional grant to improve their student

guidance service. Flexibility is given to the schools to employ

suitable personnel to provide service or hire the service of non-

governmental organisations.

• To act in concerted effort with the new direction in student

guidance service, all youth welfare service units have been

proactively designing tailor-made service plans for primary

schools.

c. Parent EducationTo enable parents to have a better grasp of parenting knowledge

and skills so as to provide a suitable environment and proper

guidance to facilitate the healthy development of their children,

the Committee on Home-School Co-operation under the

Education and Manpower Bureau supports schools to promote

parent education and establish parent support network.

2. Collaboration with the Health Sector

Referral System of Welfare Services for theStudent Health Service

• The Student Health Service of the Department of Health has

been serving Primary One to Primary Six students in Hong Kong

since 1995 and has been extended to cover all Secondary One

to Secondary Seven day school students from 1996 onwards.

• To ensure the prompt referral of students requiring follow-up

services to suitable service units, the Social Welfare Department

has, jointly with the Department of Health, the Education and

Manpower Bureau, non-governmental organisations and the

Hong Kong Council of Social Service, set up and implemented

an enhanced referral system in February 2002.

• To provide young people with more comprehensive guidance

and support during their growth, the Student Health Service of

the Department of Health has set up Adolescent Health Teams

in 2001, members of which include professionals such as

doctors, nurses, dieticians, social workers and psychologists, to

implement the Adolescent Health Programme in schools for

students, teachers and parents using an outreaching approach.

• Similarly, students who are identified as requiring follow-up

services by the Adolescent Health Teams will be referred to

appropriate service units through the above referral system.

3. Collaboration with Law Enforcement Agencies

a. Secondary School Liaison Officers Programmeof the Hong Kong Police ForceSince 2001-02, the Government has allocated an additional

$10 million to the Hong Kong Police Force to create 33

Secondary School Liaison Officer posts at the rank of Police

Sergeant to enhance the School Liaison Programme. School

Liaison Officers are responsible for maintaining regular contacts

and communication with all secondary schools in the districts,

providing the schools and school social workers with professional

advice where necessary, and planning activities such as talks

and visits to police stations. It is hoped that these activities may

instil a spirit of discipline and proper values into students to

prevent them from going astray.

b. Community Support Services Scheme (CSSS) —Standardised Referral System for Cases under thePolice Superintendent's Discretion SchemeSince September 2001, the number of CSSS teams has been

increased from two to five achieving full coverage of service

over the territory. To enhance the efficiency of the referral and

follow-up of cases cautioned under the Police Superintendent's

Discretion Scheme, the Social Welfare Department and the Hong

Kong Police Force have jointly developed a standardised referral

system that has been implemented since July 2002.

2121

c. Referral System for the Customs and ExciseDepartment for Juveniles Involved in Piracy ActivitiesGiven the increasing number of young people involved in piracy

activities, the Social Welfare Department has collaborated with

the Customs and Excise Department (C&ED) in implementing a

referral system since April 2002 for young people aged under

16 who have been arrested during anti-piracy operations but

not formally charged by the C&ED in order to steer them away

from criminal offences. The Social Welfare Department will refer

young people who are willing to receive service to ICYSCs

according to their residential addresses for counselling and other

appropriate service.

d. Conducting Family Conference for Children/JuvenilesCautioned under the Police Superintendent’sDiscretion SchemeTo enhance support for young offenders, Family Conference

Scheme was launched on 1 October 2003. The objectives of the

Family Conference are to bring together the cautioned juveniles,

their family members and relevant professionals to draw up

follow-up plans to address the needs of the juveniles. The Family

Conference Scheme is operated for the children / juveniles who

are in need of the services of three or more parties; or the child

/ juvenile is being cautioned for a second time or more.

4. Collaboration with the Labour Sector

a. Youth Pre-employment Training Programme• The Youth Pre-employment Training Programme is a

comprehensive pre-employment training programme for school

leavers between the age of 15 and 19. The programme aims at

enhancing young people’s confidence and competitiveness for

employment through a wide range of job-related training,

workplace attachment opportunities, career counselling and

support service.

• The Government and non-governmental organisations providing

youth service have been actively participating in implementing

the programme through providing participants with different

types of modular training, which include leadership, discipline

and team building training, job search and interpersonal skill

training, computer application training and job-specific skills

training. Besides, workplace attachment opportunities are also

offered to trainees.

b. Youth Work Experience and Training Scheme• The Youth Work Experience and Training Scheme aims to

enhance the employability, work experience and personal

qualifications of young people so as to enhance their

employment prospects through on-the-job training. Young

people aged between 15 and 24 with education attainment

below the undergraduate level who wish to seek opportunities

of job attachment are eligible to join.

• To tie in with the implementation of the scheme, the Labour

Department has commissioned non-governmental organisations

rendering youth service to provide young people participating

in the scheme with the following services:

(1) Induction course – pre-employment skills training

(2) Case management service – personalised career

counselling and support service

(3) On-the-job training

B. Promoting Cross-sector Collaboration

1. At Central Policy Level

Committee on Services for Youth at RiskThe Committee on Services for Youth at Risk, under the

chairmanship of the Director of Social Welfare, is a forum for

promoting multi-disciplinary, cross-sector, and cross-bureau/

department co-ordination and collaboration. Members of the

Committee comprise representatives from the Health, Welfare

and Food Bureau, the Security Bureau, the Home Affairs Bureau,

the Education and Manpower Bureau, the Hong Kong Police

Welfare Officers include:

– planning welfare services on a district basis to meet local

community needs;

– collaborating with District Councils, related Government

departments and district organisations to facilitate the

implementation of social welfare policies in the district;

– co-ordinating with non-governmental organisations in the

district in respect of delivery of services in meeting the welfare

needs of the local community;

– establishing a more proactive outreaching network in the

district to help the needy and the disadvantaged; and

– administering and managing centralised operational units.

• The Social Welfare Department has also set up 18 Local

Committees on Services for Young People to enhance the co-

ordination of efforts in examining current youth problems and

the development of suitable intervention strategies. The Local

Committees, chaired by the District Social Welfare Officers,

comprise local leaders, representatives from non-governmental

organisations and other Government departments such as the

Education and Manpower Bureau and the Hong Kong Police

Force, schools, young people and parents. To strengthen district

co-ordination, the Social Welfare Department has allocated an

additional $1.44 million per annum to these 18 Local

Committees for organising district-based activities to respond

to the needs of young people. In addition, 13 Assistant Social

Work Officer posts have been created in District Social Welfare

Offices with effect from September 2001, which, together with

other staff, have been turned into District Planning and Co-

ordinating Teams since March 2002.
