We welcome the Liberal Democrats’ commitment to investing in youth services. The LibDems have vowed to: 👉 Address the underfunding and neglect of children’s mental health services, youth services and youth justice services; 👉 Adopt a public health approach to the epidemic of youth violence which identifies and treats risk factors, rather than just focusing on the symptoms. This means police, teachers, health professionals, youth workers and social services all working closely together to prevent young people falling prey to gangs and violence; 👉 Invest in youth services that are genuinely engaging and reach more young people. “Evidence shows youth work reduces pressure on public services in the short-term. It also shows young people who receive youth work become happier, healthier and wealthier adults compared with those who didn’t receive support. The next Government cannot afford to ignore young people and youth work.” - Jacob Diggle, UK Youth chief impact officer. Read our full response here 👉 https://bit.ly/3Rpw2pH
