Asked by: Baroness Anelay of St Johns (Conservative - Life peer)
Question to the Department for Education:
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of 'Guiding principles for youth-led social action' published by Youth Access; and whether they plan to support and build on existing early support hubs through the Young Futures programme.
Answered by Baroness Smith of Malvern - Minister of State (Education)
The new Young Futures Hubs will support the delivery of the government’s safer streets, health and opportunity missions by bringing together support services for children and young people. In doing so, the hubs will promote children and young people’s development, improve their mental health and wellbeing, and prevent them from being drawn into crime. They will be staffed by professionals including youth workers, mental health support workers and career advisors.
The department will engage with national and local partners, local communities, and children and young people to work together on design and delivery, including considering relevant reports.
