Specifically, the Youth Charter tackles educational non-attainment, health inequality, anti-social behaviour and the negative effects of crime, drugs, gang related activity and racism by applying the ethics of sporting and artistic excellence. These can then be translated to provide social and economic benefits of citizenship, rights, responsibilities, with improved education, health, social order and environment. The Youth Charter adopts a multi-faceted approach to achieving itsobjectives, often by forging partnerships with a wide range of public and private sector agencies - engaging, motivating and inspiring sustainable and achievable benefits.
