Open:12 November 2025 – Closes: 12 January 2026

The National Youth Agency is calling on youth workers across the country to take part in the 2025/26 Workforce Survey, a crucial opportunity to shape the future of youth work in England.

Past Workforce Surveys have already shaped the sector, providing the evidence that informs our understanding of workforce sufficiency and guides the development of the reformed qualifications framework. These insights have fed directly into NYA’s policy work with the Government, influencing discussions on long-term investment and the imminent National Youth Strategy. By completing this year’s survey, you help us build on that foundation, deepen understanding of the issues facing youth workers today and advocate for a workforce that is equipped, supported, and responsive to the needs of young people.
