Youth Services
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, how she will assess the success of the National Youth Strategy.
Answered by Stephanie Peacock
The National Youth Strategy will put young people from all backgrounds in the driving seat when it comes to decisions that affect their lives.
We are committed to being accountable to young people, their parents/carers, sector partners, and the wider public to deliver this strategy. To assess the impact, we will hold an annual youth-led national hearing to discuss progress and priorities. We will also publish an interim delivery progress report in 2027.
We will also be evaluating the National Youth Strategy's delivery and impact with England-wide metrics, and DCMS reporting across programmes. This will help us identify successful approaches and areas for improvement and explore opportunities to enhance our work.
