The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether she has held discussions with representatives of young people on the development of the national youth strategy.

Answered by Stephanie Peacock

Both the Secretary of State and I have conducted roundtables with young people and over the coming months will conduct a number of different engagement activities with young people, including focus groups.

In addition, a Youth Advisory Group was established in December 2024 to support DCMS to develop the National Youth Strategy. It will form a key part of the co-production of the National Youth Strategy, ensuring young people have a decision-making role throughout the process by providing expertise, challenge and a range of perspectives.
