The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps she is taking to involve young people in the co-production of local youth services.

Answered by Stephanie Peacock

Co-produced with 14,000 young people, ‘Youth Matters: Your National Youth Strategy’ is a 10 year plan to ensure every young person across the country has somewhere to go, someone who cares for them and a community they feel part of.

A key focus of the Strategy is to empower young people, placing them in the driving seat of designing local youth services. We are ensuring local authorities co-design their local youth offers with young people to meet their needs.
