Thursday 16th June 2016

Asked by: Huw Merriman (Conservative - Bexhill and Battle)

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what assessment he has made of the effect of the National Citizen Service on life chances.

Answered by Rob Wilson

NCS is open to all young people and can significantly improve life chances. 7 in 10 participants felt more confident about getting a job in the future after NCS. Young people eligible for free school meals participate in high numbers and demonstrate stronger positive impacts in building resilience. The NCS Bill will make NCS a permanent feature of British life for young people from every background.
