Young Futures Hubs
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent steps she has taken to establish Young Futures Hubs in (a) Gloucester and (b) across the country.
Answered by Dame Diana Johnson
The Government is committed to rolling out a new Youth Futures programme, including a network of Young Futures Hubs which will bring together services to help improve the way young people can access the support they need.
Officials from across a range of departments are already working together, using evidence of what works to start to shape how the prevention partnerships and hubs will work in practice. As part of this we are engaging with local communities, the police, charities, and other key partners to support the design of the programme and explore options for it’s delivery, ensuring we are making use of the vast knowledge and experience that already exists. This includes considerations of the most suitable locations as well as how best to engage with those young people who would benefit most from their support.
We will provide further detail on the future timelines for delivery as the work develops.
