star this property answer text <p>Local Authorities have a statutory duty to secure sufficient youth services in line with local need. Before securing such services, local authorities are required to take steps to ascertain the views of young people in their area and must take those views into account when deciding on the services to be provided. Funding for these services come from the Local Government settlement, which was over £12 billion last year. DCMS are currently reviewing the guidance associated with the statutory duty.</p><p>DCMS funds Universal Youth Services that are open to all young people and is investing £560 million over the next 3 years in a new National Youth Guarantee, so that by 2025 every young person will have access to regular clubs and activities, adventures away from home and opportunities to volunteer.</p><p>Phase One of the Youth Investment Fund, administered by BBC Children in Need, has delivered £12 million of funding this year to over 400 local youth organisations in levelling up priority areas in England. Five organisations working with Gypsy, Roma and/or Traveller communities were awarded funding. The grants have a total value of £202,346 which represents 1.7% of the total amount awarded. Phase Two of the Youth Investment Fund is expected to open in summer 2022.</p>

star this property answer text <p>Higher education institutions (HEIs) are independent and have autonomy over which courses to deliver (such as Youth Work courses). It is the government’s role to help ensure that the higher education (HE) sector as a whole is responsive to, and able to, deliver demand for HE provision.</p><p>Whilst we do not hold accurate course figures, first degree entrants into Youth Work studies at UK HEIs have decreased by 26% between the period 2013 to 2014 and the period 2016 to 2017.</p><p>Through our regulatory reforms, we have established the Office for Students (OfS). This is a new regulator for the HE sector, and it has student choice at the heart of its agenda. OfS has introduced tools like the Teaching Excellence and Students Outcomes Framework and Longitudinal Education Outcomes data. These tools will put more information into the hands of prospective students. They will also allow students to better understand which course is right for them and the outcomes delivered by various courses at different institutions.</p><p> </p>
