answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2019 answer text <p>Local authorities are responsible for allocating public funding to youth services in their area. We believe they are best placed to know what is required in their communities. To increase opportunities for young people to benefit from open access youth services and youth social action, Government is investing £80 million, in partnership the National Lottery Community Fund, through the Youth Investment and #iwill Funds.</p><p> </p><p>A public call for evidence as part of the review of the guidance which sets out the statutory duty placed on local authorities to provide appropriate local youth services will be announced in due course. We expect that the review will provide greater clarity of Government’s expectations, including the value added by good youth work. <strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Loughborough answering member printed Nicky Morgan question first answered 05/09/2019 15:54:35 answering member 4027 label Biography information for Baroness Morgan of Cotes
