answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/01/2022 answer text <p>The Government recognises the vital role that accessible youth services and activities play in improving the life chances and wellbeing of young people. This is why DCMS is investing £560 million in youth services in England over the next 3 years, including the Youth Investment Fund (YIF) and our ongoing support for the National Citizen Service. This will transform the government’s offer for young people and level up opportunities right across the country. This funding builds on more than £12 billion given to Local Authorities this year who have a statutory duty to allocate funding to youth services in line with local need.</p> answering member constituency Mid Worcestershire answering member printed Nigel Huddleston question first answered 19/01/2022 11:17:51 answering member 4407 label Biography information for Nigel Huddleston

The Youth Investment Fund will seek to build on locally available provision and will encourage bids that show all partners working together to maximise the impact of investment.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/11/2021 answer text <p>Earlier this year, DCMS conducted a Youth Review to ensure that our spending, policy and programmes meet the needs of young people. The review heard from over 6,000 young people and 120 youth organisations. The findings will be published shortly. DCMS is also committed to completing the review of the Local Authority Statutory Duty for Youth Services, previously paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Together, the results will give a clear direction for our out-of-school youth agenda for all partners providing youth services, including Local Authorities.</p><p>To support the youth workforce, DCMS funds the National Youth Agency to set professional standards, qualifications and a curriculum for youth work, including a new youth work apprenticeship and free-to-access training. DCMS bursaries have fully-funded hundreds of individuals to gain youth work qualifications who otherwise may have been excluded due to cost.</p> answering member constituency Mid Worcestershire answering member printed Nigel Huddleston grouped question UIN 71379 71380 71382 71386 71387 question first answered 15/11/2021 10:06:32 answering member 4407 label Biography information for Nigel Huddleston
