We, the Positive for Youth planning group, invite you to have your say on the Department for Education’s (DfE) new Positive for Youth Policy. This is your chance to shape the future of youth policy and effect change.
An event is being organised by young people for young people on Tuesday 25 October 2011 at Proud2, O2 Greenwich, 10.30 – 4.30pm. Registration will start at 9.30am.
The day will consist of exploring a new national narrative called Positive for Youth, which focuses on young people aged 13-19.
You will be joined by Tim Loughton, the Minister for Children and Families, on the day, so he can hear for himself what you have to say about the document which sets out the Government’s vision for youth services and how they will be delivered in future. All your feedback will be reported to DfE at the end of the day and will directly inform the development of the final Positive for Youth statement that will be published later in the autumn.
