Renewed Youth Strategy

A couple of days ago, the new Labour government announced the closure of the National Citizen Service (NCS) and the beginning of the writing of a national youth strategy.

Excepting the fact that we should have already had a national youth strategy, I’m curious to hear people’s views on what should be included in such a strategy?

For me the ability to learn about and experience other culture and languages, for example through a youth mobility scheme, is critical for the rounded development of young people.

For me, it should be about equalising the offer and removing the postcode lottery: so, making sure the same police and emergency cadets cadets offer is available in each county, CCFs in all schools, a choice of SCC/RMC, ACF, and ATC at all locations, etc.
