	question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the relevance and effectiveness of the National Citizen Service in meeting the particular needs of vulnerable young people in disadvantaged communities.
	tabling member printed	Lord Ouseley
	uin	HL15113
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/04/2019 answer text <p>NCS is a programme that successfully reaches young people from all backgrounds. We have made no specific assessment of the relevance and effectiveness of NCS in meeting the needs of vulnerable young people in disadvantaged communities, but we do know that participants from vulnerable and minority groups are overrepresented on the programme. In 2018, 16% of participants were eligible for Free School Meals, 31% were from Black and Minority Ethnic backgrounds and 5% had Special Educational Needs* compared to 12%, 25% and 2% of the comparative population respectively.</p><p> </p><p>Work is ongoing to reach the most marginalised young people. The NCS Trust has established strong links with Local Authorities to support the hardest to reach young people in accessing the programme; provide specialist support during the programme; and help young people access opportunities after NCS. The NCS Trust has also introduced a central inclusion fund, so that its network partners can apply for funding to support young people with additional needs to access the NCS programme.</p><p> </p><p>* The final 2018 participation figures are still subject to ongoing compliance checks.</p> answering member printed Lord Ashton of Hyde question first answered 24/04/2019 16:21:37 answering member 4247 label Biography information for Lord Ashton of Hyde

	question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of the creation of the National Citizen Service on the funding available for youth services.
	tabling member printed	Lord Ouseley
	uin	HL15114
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/04/2019 answer text <p>The decision to fund local youth services lies with Local Authorities, not with central government. NCS is a universal offer funded by central government, that is accessible to all young people and is designed to support, and not cut across other services. It is delivered via a network of over 100 local delivery partners, many of which are local youth organisations. As such, we have made no specific assessment of the impact of the creation of NCS on the funding available for youth services.</p> answering member printed Lord Ashton of Hyde question first answered 24/04/2019 16:22:02 answering member 4247 label Biography information for Lord Ashton of Hyde

	uin	HL15115
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/04/2019 answer text <p>Government recognises that the causes of youth crime are complex and are often tied to local factors.

The Government has made over £200bn available to local authorities to spend on local services over this Spending Review.</p><p>The Government is committed to making sure young people have opportunities to develop their skills and benefit from youth services, which are an important partner in the strategy to tackle the root causes of serious violence.</p><p>My department will continue to work closely with the Home Office on the implementation of the Serious Violence Strategy. <strong> </strong></p> answering member printed Lord Ashton of Hyde question first answered 24/04/2019 16:22:25 answering member 4247 label Biography information for Lord Ashton of Hyde
