Young Futures Hubs
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what plans her Department has to open Young Futures Hubs in every local authority area.
Answered by Stephanie Peacock
Responsibility for the cross-Government Young Futures Hubs programme transferred from the Department for Education to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport on 1st September.
On Tuesday 15th July, the Prime Minister set out plans to open 50 hubs over the next four years. Up to £2m is being made available for 8 Early Adopters Local Authorities, in areas of high-knife crime and/or antisocial behaviour, so that the first Young Futures Hubs will be operational later this financial year. Early Adopters will select the precise location of their Young Futures Hub based on local needs. More information will be shared in due course.
The design and implementation of the programme in future years will be informed by our work with early adopters.
