Weʼre making sure that the team who will choose who and how Connexions is run from next year onwards know about the things that you told us are important in a Connexions service. Buying Bradford Connexions Feedback from Part 1 The Top 10 Issues There were a lot of issues that cropped up again and again. Here are the Top 10 things that we heard were important. • A helpful & friendly service - with staff who listen & respect you. • A speedy service - no long waiting times or hanging around. • A welcoming space - with colourful decor, comfortable chairs. Less like an office & more like somewhere for young people. • Lots of job and course options - and advice on the right things for you. Not just any old job or course. • Good quality information - presented in leaflets, books, posters, on computers and face-to-face • Help looking for jobs • Plenty of staff • Open when you want to visit • Respecting privacy • Good publicity material A great Connexions service would be: "a friendly environment where young people will feel comfortable, where staff are willing to help and youngsters feel comfortable in walking in and asking for help without hesitation." (F, 18, Bradford West) In an awful service there would be "no help or advice what-so-ever; and the people that work there have no understanding about you or what you want in life. It wouldnʼt be confidential. " (F, 17, Keighley) Where next? Weʼve suggested changes to the ʻSpecificationʼ that will be used by the Council to buy the Connexions service for you from next year onwards. But we still need your views.

A great Connexions service
would be: "a friendly environment where young people will feel comfortable,
where staff are willing to help and youngsters feel comfortable in walking in and asking for
help without hesitation." (F, 18, Bradford West)
In an awful service there would be "no help or advice what-so-ever; and the people that
work there have no understanding about you or what you want in life. It wouldnʼt
be confidential. "(F, 17, Keighley)
Where next?Weʼve suggested changes to the ʻSpecificationʼ that will be used by the Council to buy the Connexions service for you from next year onwards. But we still need your views.
