uin	HL3975
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/05/2024 answer text <p>HM Government recognises the vital role that informal education, such as youth work, can play in complementing formal education received by young people.</p><p>Recent Government research on this topic includes the ‘Youth provision and life outcomes’ study commissioned by DCMS and published in February, and a process evaluation of the Essential Life Skills programme published by the Department for Education in 2020. The Essential Life Skills Programme (2018-19) saw a £21 million investment to implement enhanced extra-curricular activities in primary and secondary schools across 12 Opportunity Areas. Evaluation of the programme revealed high engagement and attendance, particularly among disadvantaged pupils, with reported benefits in confidence, resilience, relationship-building, and social and emotional intelligence.</p><p>DCMS and DfE are building on what we learned from this programme to test a new approach to supporting secondary schools to deliver enrichment programmes through the Enrichment Partnership Pilot. This is funded by HM Treasury’s Shared Outcomes Fund, and is being delivered by the National Citizen Service Trust and the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. The pilot is being evaluated by the National Foundation for Educational Research.</p> answering member printed Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay question first answered 07/05/2024 12:29:06 answering member 4728 label Biography information for Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay

Alongside this, DCMS funds a peer review programme for local authorities to learn from each other about the best approaches to youth service provision.
