Young People: Rural Areas

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps she is taking to promote the National Youth Strategy survey in rural areas.

Answered by Stephanie Peacock

Our engagement for the National Youth Survey has proactively involved young people from urban and rural areas, as well as across a number of different demographic considerations.

In order to reach young people in all areas of the country, we developed a communications campaign and worked with a variety of stakeholders who support young people to disseminate information. We developed a toolkit for organisations to run their own consultation workshops with young people to feed in their views. In addition to this, we have run a wide-ranging survey, workshops, focus groups and ‘hacks’ to give young people the opportunity to develop solutions.
