The Joined Up Institute is being launched by UK Youth to “provide a real solution to the fragmented system of support” for young people.

Tackling digital inequality for young people will be among issues looked at by the group of professionals, which are involved in a range of aspects of young people’s lives.

It hopes to bring together 10,000 professionals by 2025.

Legal firm Osborne Clarke, which is a partner of the Institute, will support the group’s work in improving young people’s access to technology, identifying gaps in support and find opportunities for youth workers to link up with the technology sector.

Employment and health workers are also involved, with other issues being looked at by the group including mental health challenges, access to outdoor learning, employability, and social action opportunities.
