The National Youth Agency (NYA) is set to launch a consultation programme on the future of a national youth council following the closure of the British Youth Council (BYC) in March.

The consultation will “gather the views of stakeholders on the value and future of a national youth council, the young ambassador programme and the role of youth voice and influence in the political infrastructure,” according to the NYA.

The project will involve a mix of focus groups with young people, group discussions and interviews with key stakeholders and an online survey expected to launch next month (November).

Experts are urging young people to sign up to take part in the first focus group activity on 23 October.

The feedback received through the consultation activities will be analysed and used to inform a recommendations report and proposal for potential funders and commissioners in March 2025.
