Updated Aiming High Implementation Plan - Published 15 October 2008
This newly updated Implementation Plan (15 October 2008) sets out arrangements for implementing Aiming High and highlights progress to date, as well as the key actions which will be taken over the next 12 months. It is intended to be of use to all agencies and professionals working to improve outcomes for young people and is a live document, updated regularly to reflect progress and new developments. Please note: this document updates the first Implementation Plan, available below, which was published in March 2008.

We want the implementation of Aiming High to create a new sense of partnership in delivering better opportunities and services for young people - a partnership which rewards innovation and addresses existing barriers to securing a better opportunity for young people. The DCSF will lead in the implementation and ensure that stakeholders continue to influence, and be involved in, the delivery of Aiming High's commitments.
