<p>This department recognises the unprecedented impacts the pandemic has had on young
people, and on the vital support that youth services provide particularly for those
most vulnerable.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Youth centres are being permitted
to re-open on 4th July, to ensure our young people have access to not only the support
they need, but opportunities to engage in safe activities over the summer period.
We know that youth workers are already supporting young people through detached youth
work, and we have supported the National Youth Agency to produce guidance for youth
organisations on operating safely during Covid19.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>DCMS
is engaging regularly with young people and key youth organisations to understand
how best to support the re-opening of youth centres over the coming weeks and months.</p><p>
