HUNDREDS of youngsters and families are set to benefit from a new website to be launched in York next month.
Coun Keith Aspden, the Lib Dem executive member for Young People and Social Inclusion, welcomed progress on the YorOK Children's Trust.
In a response to a question from Dringhouses councillor, Tom Holvey, Coun Aspden reported that the YorOK website, aimed at providing "joined-up" information for children, young people, families and professionals in York, will be launched next month.
Coun Aspden said: "The website will be developed in two sections; a service directory, which is a searchable online directory by categories, keywords, postcode and A-Z, and information and guidance pages, a series of pages more like a traditional website.
"The service directory will host the youth offer, whereby children, young people and their families will be able to search, for example, for activities and groups within their local areas. I hope that this will improve access to the wide range of provision that exists for children and young people."
YorOK, a partnership of child care providers such as City of York Council, schools, health services, police and youth clubs, is reviewing its approach to services.Earlier this year, YorOK produced the city's second Children and Young People's Plan to help young people understand what it is that they can reasonably expect the city to do for them and how they might make a contribution themselves
