Our Children and Young People - Our Pledge Action Plan 2007-8 is made up of 160 action points and includes the lead department and delivery partners for each, as well as indicators of success.
Plans include the development of a scheme to maintain universal youth services while targeting specific youth services to vulnerable young people under the banner "Priorities for Youth".
A play policy for 12- to 18-year-olds will be developed by June 2008 and a charter for youth justice in Northern Ireland will be published next month.
