As Chairman of the Youth Employment APPG, I believe the challenges faced by vulnerable 16 and 17 year olds in their transition to adulthood and the support required to alleviate these challenges to be of crucial importance with regard to achieving employment and happily transitioning into adulthood. The Crumbling Futures research provided by the Children’s Society contributes to finding needed improvements to the support 16 and 17 year olds currently receive.
I can assure you that the Government is implementing change in this area by committing £4 million to support and develop projects that seek to deliver better outcomes for children in need.
Thank you again for contacting me about this event.
