This page announced Face the facts, the information series the Australian Clearinghouse for Youth Studies built for policy and decision makers, and it is archived in the words of that announcement. This site is an independent archive, not the clearinghouse: nothing here is being released, and the topics the page lists as upcoming were planned by an organisation that has since closed. Some of them never appeared.
Each package in the series came in two parts, a Snapshot giving the issue and the figures at a glance and a Briefing setting out the factors involved, the policy implications and what lay ahead. That two part shape is why the series was quoted as widely as it was. The first edition, on youth and disability, is held in this archive and linked from this page, along with the later packages that were published.
The subscription notice and the direct line that once stood at the foot of the page closed with the clearinghouse. The archived copies need no subscription. For the copy kept here, write to the editors of the archive.
ACYS announces its latest information package called Face the facts, developed in response to the need for policy- and decision-makers to have information on emerging trends in the youth sector.
Each package includes the Snapshot – a short, sharp overview of the issues and the facts that you need to have at hand, and the Briefing – an in-depth analysis of the factors involved, policy implications, and a breakdown of what lies ahead for that issue.
The first edition is Youth disability, highlighting key statistics, policy problems and development opportunities relevant to youth and disability today.
Youth disability - Snapshot

Upcoming topics to be covered will include Youth and obesity, Youth and income support and Youth and homelessness.
If you'd like to be informed when new issues are released, go to the Face the facts subscription information.
Suggestions about future topics, and comments on the figures presented in Face the facts, went to the clearinghouse while it was publishing the series. That address and the direct line printed with it closed with the clearinghouse. For the archived copy itself, write to the editors.
