ABOUT RUE

RUE is an independent organisation that seeks to support agencies and individuals in both the voluntary and statutory sectors to develop their work with young people. Formed in 2004, RUE works with forward thinking groups to develop innovative ways of engaging young people using their interests and motivation. RUE has four specific areas:

• Road User Education: RUE aims to improve communication and facilitate partnership working between initiatives who work with young people using their interest in vehicles and mobility as a medium for learning. It does this by working alongside motor projects, urban sport and youth projects, local authorities and road safety initiatives to develop their programme of activities.


• Development:   RUE is committed to supporting and initiating the development of products and initiatives that have a national relevance and which support the sustainability of the voluntary youth work sector.


• Voluntary Sector Support: through its network, RUE seeks to support the voluntary sector by undertaking feasibility studies, research and consultation; providing training, advice and support; developing resources and lobbying influencers.


• Looked after Children/Young People:  through its links with a independent fostering agency, RUE seeks to develop good practice with looked after children and young people.

Additionally RUE provides a range of services to social and youth work agencies including: Youth Service Ofsted preparation; general training and external supervision.
