(25 November 2024)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps she is taking to encourage more people to (a) enter the youth sector workforce and (b) become youth workers.

Asked by:
David Williams (Labour)

Answer

This Government fully recognises the importance of youth services to help young people live safe and healthy lives, and the vital role that youth workers play in delivering those services and building trusted relationships.

This government has committed to co-producing a new National Youth Strategy, which is an opportunity to look afresh at the training, recruitment and retention of youth workers. As part of the Strategy, we will be consulting closely with young people and the youth sector over the coming months to fully understand their needs and the issues they consider to be most crucial in addressing.

The Strategy will be published next year.
