The Young People's Contact Group will be chaired by Carolyn Hayman, chief executive of homelessness charity the Foyer Federation, who was chosen because of Foyer residents' experience of complex non-academic routes into learning. Hayman will head up a team of six members including John Berkeley from the University of Warwick Centre for Lifelong Learning.
The contact group will spend the next two to three months gathering information on issues important to young people and will cover work on the curriculum, assessment and qualifications in a two-phase consultation. As part of the first phase, the contact group is accepting material on young people's experiences of education from organisations until the end of May. The second phase in July will concentrate on proposals resulting from the first phase.
