The Future Forward strategy has been released on International Youth Day (August 12) and pledges to support action to “empower young people and make positive change” as the UK recovers from the pandemic.

This includes working with young people on inclusivity amid recovery and focusing on creating opportunities “regardless of background”.

“Young people deserve a seat at the table to shape decisions about our shared future. Their voice enriches decision-making and inspires us all to do more and do better,” it adds.

Plans are in place to develop a global network of young people as well as enable a “youth led, peer-to-peer anti-bullying movement”. This will have a particular focus on tackling bullying in schools and online.
