Connexions South Gloucestershire have been very busy over the past few months working hard to meet the needs of young people in schools who told us in our annual evaluation that they don't always know where to get information from in school about the issues that are relevant to them in their lives.
This has been part of an ongoing project to promote Young People's Information Points (YPIPs) in places where young people visit.  One school where it has been particularly exciting to set up a YPIP has been Bradley Stoke Community School as they have not previously had a need for this facility due to the age range of the pupils. The school gave us full co-operation in this piece of work and identified a group of pupils to work with us on its development.
