Youth and Connexions Service


In April 2006 Suffolk Youth Services and Suffolk Connexions Service integrated to become Suffolk Youth and Connexions Service, which is part of the Children and Young People’s Directorate of Suffolk County Council.

The Youth and Connexions Service is one of several organisations within the County Council,along with the voluntary and community sector, working to provide help, support and guidance for all young people as part of Integrated Youth Support Services.

The adult education services provided under the former Community Education Service are now part of the Adult and Community Services Directorate of Suffolk County Council.

For a brief overview of the Youth Service and the wide range of excellent services available for young people, please read the document below.
