A consultation redundancy period began yesterday (22 September) for more than 26 employees from a team of 43.

"We have to make some hard choices but we’re determined to continue supporting the delivery of quality services for young people and advocating for their voice and influence," said Fiona Blacke, NYA’s chief executive.
