(Thread) #CivilSocietyStrategy - A few observations:
1. #localgov have a stat duty to secure sufficient services & activities for young people to improve well-being. It got a few paragraphs. We've waited a long time for a Youth Strategy & focus on high quality youth work.

2. Youth work & services don't seem to seen as part of a system or a sector that involves central and local govt, social and private sector organisations which intertwines - can't have one without the others #CivilSocietyStrategy
3. It's a good start. We still need to talk about money and sustainability #CivilSocietyStrategy
4. Do we still need reviews to tell us what research has already said about the benefits of good youth work for developing adolescents and young people? #CivilSocietyStrategy
5. Active citizenship and social action must happen locally - and as part of a wider offer that includes what happens in and out of school & for different groups of young people. Which is why it's interesting that #localgov is missing in this bit of #CivilSocietyStrategy
6. We are at risk of losing another generation of young people if we don't acknowledge and address the issues including funding and do it well #CivilSocietyStrategy
