KYCC Campaigns

 

Anti-bullying

  • The Anti-bullying campaign group will work throughout 2013 to equip schools and youth organisations with an anti-bullying policy they can enforce to support them to effectively deal with bullying.  This model anti-bullying policy will be developed in consultation with young people, schools, colleges, youth organisations and national charities including BEAT Bullying and NSPCC.

 

Employment

  • Bridge the gap between employers and young people, concerning work skills and work accessibility.
  • Reduce the bias present in current careers services for young people.
  • Further the “KYCC Certified” Scheme  by getting more employers on board

 

The KYCC Employment Campaign Group is currently working really hard to improve employment opportunities for young people in Kent. They want to help bridge the gap between employers and young people. They have been working on a Scheme called “KYCC certified” which awards employers either a bronze, silver or gold award depending on how much they improve young people’s employment rights in their businesses.

Transport

  • Increase the availability age of the freedom pass with the participation age.
  • More frequent buses and availability in rural/new areas. Disability access must be made easily and increase disability priority.
  • To reach an acceptable balance between price of service and quality.
  • More friendly and approachable bus drivers due to their work in the public sector.

 

KYCC Transport Campaign members will be working locally to achieve the aims but, will also be supporting British Youth Council’s Youth Select Committee in their inquiry into issues and concerns around safe, affordable and accessible transport for young people.
