Our resources are currently focused on other priorities from the Civil Society Strategy and on preparing for EU exit. This is an important recommendation in the Strategy and one that we would hope to turn our attention to later this year.</p><p> </p><p>DCMS is already leading the way in enabling effective youth participation in national policy making and the department is pioneering approaches which can be adopted across government. These include a Civil Society Youth Steering Group to oversee the development and implementation of policies affecting young people in the Civil Society Strategy; a national Young Commissioners and Inspectors Group to involve young people directly and meaningfully in the commissioning, monitoring and evaluation of national programmes affecting young people; exploring a new digital solution to enable large numbers of young people to play a role in consultations and programme design across the government. DCMS expects to announce the partnership of organisations which will be leading delivery of these commitments shortly.</p> answering member constituency Eastleigh answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 29/01/2019 17:27:46 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies
