Consultation on a new statutory framework for youth work

It’s really important that we listen to what young people think – please help them to respond to our consultation. 

The Welsh Government is currently consulting on a new statutory framework for youth work in Wales. The consultation period will run until 10 January 2025. You may already have responded or are planning to respond as an individual or as part of a collective response from your organisation.  

For young people to have a full awareness and understanding of these changes, and to have the confidence to share their own experiences and opinions with Welsh Government, we need your support as youth workers, youth support workers and others working with young people across Wales to encourage them to share their views.  

To this end, we have developed discussion points for young people based on some of the key features of the proposed new statutory framework. We would advise you to read these alongside the proposals and the consultation document itself. Whilst these are some suggested discussion points, you may wish to explore other aspects of the framework with the young people in your organisation, depending on their interests and experiences.
