To have a well-balanced and good quality of life it is essential to:
- make and have friends
- develop supportive relationships
- take part in the local community
- have interesting things to do
It is important to support and provide young people with opportunities to:
- spend time with their friends outside of school and college
- develop and keep friendships and relationships
- ensure that they can safely and confidently access their local community
The Essex Local Offer website provides:
- links to resources and groups in Essex that help young people build resilience, self-confidence and independence
- information on socialising, relationships and keeping safe within the community
- details of a range of leisure activities available within Essex
