The National Youth Agency: Launch of the Confederation of Heads of Young People's Services

1 min read
Fiona Blacke, chief executive of The National Youth Agency, and members of the Agency's Young Researcher Network (YRN) helped launch the Confederation of Heads of Young People's Services last Thursday at an event at the House of Commons, supported by representatives from leading youth sector and local authority organisations and Members of Parliament.

Young researchers Dominique Mitchell and Mu-Hamid Pathan from Leicester and Elizabeth Goldbrough from Bradford, supported by worker Norrina Rashid, were on hand to quiz guests at the event on issues around how integrated youth support services will improve outcomes for young people, how will Myplace provide new opportunities in their area, the challenges of delivering activities at the weekend and young people's representation in the media.

Darren Sharpe, The NYA's YRN co-ordinator, said: "The young researchers' mission was to record and report back on a range of questions around the twin themes of the launch event - Aiming High two years on and new approaches. The young researchers' findings will feed into the Confederation's website and its autumn conference."
