Ceredigion Youth Service receives award for Youth Work!
Ceredigion Youth Service has been awarded the prestigious Bronze Quality Mark for
Youth Work in Wales. The Welsh Government launched the Quality Mark for Youth
Work in Wales in October 2015 to provide a robust, independent, external
assessment of the quality and performance of organisations that deliver youth work
in Wales. Ceredigion Youth Service scored a ‘good practice grade’ against each of
the quality mark indicators, following a comprehensive self-assessment of the
Service and a two day assessment visit, where a team of assessors met with young
people, staff and partners.
The award was presented to some of the youth services’ team, along with Elen James Head of Youth Engagement
and Continuing Education and Councillor Catrin Miles, Cabinet Member with responsibility for Learning Services, at
a recent Youth Excellence Awards Ceremony in Cardiff. Also, attending this awards Ceremony was Gwen Evans and
Rebecca Champ, who were nominated by their colleagues for the “Promoting Employability Skills” award category
which they were successfully shortlisted, but unfortunately missed out.
