National youth scrutiny group to advise ministers as Positive for Youth policy is unveiled

A national scrutiny group of young people will advise ministers on how government policies affect them and their families, as part of the government's youth policy.

Positive for Youth: A new approach to cross-government policy for young people aged 13 to 19, brings together for the first time all of the government’s policies for young people aged 13 to 19.

A national scrutiny group was one of the proposals set out in CYP Now’s Manifesto for Young People. The advisory group will be set up by the British Youth Council, which has also been asked to advise councils on how to involve young people in decision-making and auditing services.

The government has also addressed CYP Now's calls to revise statutory guidance on local authorities' duty to secure sufficient activities and services for young people, and publish an annual set of measures to demonstrate the progress on improving outcomes for young people.
