ESCVYS Membership Criteria

  • Provide services that benefit and improve the lives of young people
  • Be either a registered charity, or an organisation with its aims, objectives and working methods stated in a document available for public inspection such as a constitution.
  • Be located in England or, if operating UK-wide or internationally, have headquarters located in England
  • Support ESCVYS's purposes, aims and values
  • Have the relevant policies and procedures in place for working with young people. As a minimum these should be child protection, Criminal Records Bureau checks, an Equal Opportunities statement/policy and involving young people in decision making/service delivery, for example a youth participation policy
  • Have an active, registered, organisation bank account and accounting procedures in place
