The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what guidance is being provided to local authorities on implementing Young Futures Hubs to ensure that they are safe spaces for children.

Answered by Stephanie Peacock

Early adopter local authorities were provided with guidance on core requirements for Young Futures Hubs. Local areas co-design their hubs with young people to ensure provision meets their needs. While facilities may vary, every hub should offer a consistent, safe, inclusive and welcoming experience, with a trained workforce and governance structures that support risk and safeguarding management. Learning from the early adopters will inform future guidance.
