Why are LAYC facebook.com/LAYC1930 Local tobacco control plans should take account of the potential interactions between tobacco and wider health behaviours. These plans should explicitly focus on vulnerable young people such as looked after children and young offenders. The majority of projects engaged with LAYC’s Youth Tobacco Action project are situated within SIMD areas 1&2. The project has engaged with Young People’s Centres. We will work with the youth sector to support smoking prevention programmes. LAYC is a membership based organisation engaging over 140 youth & children’s groups. LAYC is also connected to the wider Youth Work Sector – CLD, YouthLink, Youth Scotland. In support of the Scottish Government Parenting Strategy, we will work with service providers in the statutory and third sector to assist parents, carers and professionals address the smoking habits and associated health behaviours of young people. In 2014/2015 LAYC engaged over 500 youth & children’s staff in it’s training programme. The Youth Tobacco Action Project continues to be a regular feature on LAYC’s 2015/2016 training programme as well as offering bespoke training to groups.
