<p>Whilst we are yet to make a detailed assessment of this specific report, the Department
for Work and Pensions recognises the value of research and insight from key stakeholders
including The Prince’s Trust to enable us to better understand the challenges faced
by young people and the impact this has on their behaviour and motivations. We consider
a broad range of perspectives when designing polices to better support young people,
ranging from our regular engagement with youth stakeholder organisations like The
Prince’s Trust and Youth Employment Group, to the Department’s own commissioned research
and regularly speaking directly with young people themselves.</p><p> </p><p>The Youth
Offer provides individually tailored Work Coach support for 16-24-year olds on Universal
Credit to help them find work. Eligibility for the Youth Offer has, as of the 25<sup>th</sup>
September 2023, been expanded to include young people on Universal Credit who are
not currently searching for work, including young parents and carers. This means that
an additional 33,500 young people will be able to access the Youth Offer in order
to progress in employment.</p>
