Through School Focused Youth Services (SFYS), schools and community organisations support at risk young people who require prevention or early intervention strategies to assist their learning, development, health and wellbeing. The objective of the SFYS is to ensure that at risk young people are well supported in their communities, that risk factors are addressed or mitigated and that they continue to be engaged and connected to education.
BATForce’s SFYS Coordinators will work collaboratively with coordinators and wellbeing staff in schools to identify the needs of schools in relation to at risk young people and the services available in the community that may be able to address them. In addition, they will also establish mechanisms to obtain advice from schools with which we work and other community agencies to identify the services available in the community that meet the needs of at-risk young people.
