TYAP
The Youth Awareness Programme
The Youth Awareness Programme (TYAP) is an established local
voluntary sector organization designed to support and develop children and young people in partnership with other local organizations and
statutory bodies, within their community.
TYAP provides a high profile, popular and well-used service and
provides a good return on investment to funding bodies.
TYAP has developed from delivering one project in 1999 (The Complete Drugs Course) to providing a diverse range of services. TYAP is currently delivering 11 different projects (six Youth Inclusion Projects, Three Youth Arts courses, and 2 Drop-in Services for young people). TYAP has become local specialists in dealing with such issues as gangs, crime and anti-social behaviour. The projects aim to prevent anti-social behaviour and crime and to keep young people in education, employment and/or training.
Each young person accessing TYAP is assessed using the Youth Justice Board assessment tool ‘ONSET’. This is designed to identify any areas of need in a young person’s life and to meet those needs through
support at the project and/or appropriate onward referral to other agencies. TYAP also works with the families of attendees and with the wider community through our work with the Community Safety Action Zones and Local Housing Associations. TYAP’s aim is to provide local user-friendly projects for young people so that they can be supported in the communities where they live, rather than expecting them to
travel to access support.
The service seeks to build on its current provisions, consolidating its position as the preferred provider of Youth Justice Board Prevention Programmes in North of Bexley Borough. We also seek to provide a greater range of accredited activities for young people at our projects through our work with the Arts Council.

This YAP project is based around a simple observation – young people are into music in a big way
Music allows them to define their
identity, their friends, their fashion, and their feelings. But young
people don’t just want to hear it, they want to make it too - and
some of them are pretty damn good at it.
At TYAP we give them this opportunity. By running an
accredited digital music production course called ‘Audio X’, we give
the young people accessing our project the knowledge of how to use the
industry standard software to create, edit and produce their own music.
That’s not all, we also provide an accredited access course for people
wanting to work in the drugs or social care field called the Complete
Drugs Course.
