Youth Work
Inquiry5
The
overall aim of this ‘snapshot’ inquiry was to review the effectiveness of the
Welsh Government’s strategy and policy in respect of youth work. The Children, Young People and Education
Committee held a public consultation to gather
evidence on the following points:
- Young people’s access to youth
work services;
- How effective the Welsh
Government strategy and policy on youth work is;
- Funding for youth work (Local
Authority, Welsh Government, European, Third Sector);
- Any other issues considered to
be relevant to the Inquiry.
[Note: This inquiry did not seek evidence on local and national youth participation structures, which the Committee regarded as an important issue and which would require further consideration within its work programme.]
The
Committee published its report on the findings of the inquiry:
