National Youth StrategyContribution
The challenges facing young people today are profound: they lived through a pandemic during which they were denied the chance to test boundaries and gain confidence; they are at the sharp end of a revolution in social media; the pressures on young girls are significant; the effects of anti-social behaviour and violence are stark; and while talent is everywhere, opportunity is not. Despite that, this generation are as ambitious for themselves, their families and their communities as any other before them, and they deserve a Government with a plan to match.
