The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what criteria is being used to determine the locations of Young Futures Hubs.

Answered by Stephanie Peacock

The first eight early adopter Young Futures Hubs were located where they will have the most impact, using data on knife crime and anti-social behaviour.

The Government’s aim is to set up an additional 42 Young Futures Hubs over the next four years. The locations for the remaining 42 hubs will be determined using learnings from the eight early adopter hubs, alongside appropriate metrics to ensure hubs help those young people with greatest need.
