The Youth Policy Statement will highlight innovative approaches to delivery, showcase examples of existing good practice by local authorities and the youth sector and - through the consultation process - help government understand how we can help create the conditions for successful local delivery.

Government is already investing significant amounts in youth provision including the National Citizen Service, the £40m #iwill Fund and the £40m Youth Investment Fund.
