Young Futures Hubs

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to press release entitled Young Futures Hubs to launch offering vulnerable young people lifeline, published on 15 July 2025, whether her Department is now leading on the design and implementation of Young Futures Hubs; and which other departments are involved in discussions.

Answered by Janet Daby

The government is committed to rolling out a network of Young Futures Hubs. These will bring together services to help improve children and young people’s access to support to reduce crime and improve mental health and careers opportunities.

The design and implementation of hubs is a cross-government endeavour. Expertise has been brought together from across departments, particularly the Department for Education, Department for Culture, Media and Sport, Home Office, Department of Health and Social Care, Ministry of Justice and Department for Work and Pensions, to deliver on this manifesto commitment.

The government will be engaging with national and local partners, local communities and children and young people to explore options for the design and delivery of the hubs, ahead of the first hubs becoming operational this year.
