DCMS regularly consults with other government departments on policy areas affecting young people, including on the Civil Society Strategy, to ensure a joined-up approach to policy making.

DCMS is leading the way in enabling effective youth participation in national policy making and the department is pioneering approaches which can be adopted across government. These include a Civil Society Youth Steering Group to oversee the development and implementation of policies affecting young people in the Civil Society Strategy; a national Young Commissioners and Inspectors Group to involve young people directly and meaningfully in the commissioning, monitoring and evaluation of national programmes affecting young people; a new digital solution to enable large numbers of young people to play a role in consultations and programme design across the government.
