CONNEXIONS York and North Yorkshire has awarded Harrogate-based Barker Brooks Media Ltd the contract to produce a range of publications for young people.

Connexions is a Government-funded body charged with giving information, advice and guidance to young people on everything from college and job options to health concerns and personal development.

Barker Brooks Media Ltd will produce four separate titles aimed at different groups in the 13 to 19 age bracket.

The first to be published looks at post-16 options for young people leaving compulsory education.
