Three main priorities are agreed for the year ahead ( 2021-22 ):
1 . Strengthening partnerships We will work proactively with our partner organisations to recover from the last year of change and uncertainty . By responding to the specific needs of each organisation and their young people , we will increase the momentum and impact of the programme . We will also explore new ways of collaborative working between partner organisations in different local authority areas .
2 . Continued and expanded engagement with young people and their communities With the loss of so many groups and activities for young people across the country in the last year , we have the responsibility to offer meaningful and accessible opportunities to young people in our priority areas . We will encourage young people to re-engage with their communities through our dance and drama sessions and by taking forward the learning from 2020-21 , we will also aim to use more digital resources and blended delivery models to widen the reach of the programme .
3 . Awards and Accreditation Through our partnership with Barnardo ’ s and the Scottish Prison Service , we will be looking at widening the offer of awards within Polmont HMYOI to ensure as many young people as possible can be accredited for their participation and progress in the programme .
