The 2nd Regional roadshow youth sector professionals took place at Leeds Beckett University on Tuesday 24th March  to discuss the challenges facing young people in the region and what the government’s new National Youth Strategy means for local services.

The event was organised by the Regional Youth Work Unit Yorkshire and Humber, The Youth Work Studies Lecturers at Leeds Beckett University and Leeds Youth Service, following the successful partnership with the University of Hull’s Youth Work Lecturers and Hull Youth Service , in partnership with the National Youth Agency, UK Youth and the Department of Culture, Media and Sport. Delegates had an opportunity to hear from national policy makers and discuss how the sector can work together better to improve opportunities and outcomes for young people.

The event brought together youth workers, education professionals, health and wellbeing staff, housing teams, crime‑prevention specialists, local authority leaders and funders, marking one of the widest‑ranging cross‑sector efforts in recent youth policy. Senior leaders from DCMS and national bodies were also at the event to hear directly from frontline practitioners about what is happening across the region and use this to inform their work.
