THE Tory assault on youth services is wrecking life chances and fuelling anti-social behaviour, according to a Unison report released today.

A Future at Risk found that a staggering £387 million has been axed from youth services across Britain and 600 youth centres have been shut in the six years since the Tories came to power in 2010.

The report, based on surveys of youth workers and freedom of information requests to councils, found that Tory austerity had led to the axing of 3,600 staff posts and the removal of a staggering 140,000 places for young people since the Con-Dem coalition took office.
