Education Scotland, YouthLink Scotland and the Scottish Government have worked in collaboration to publish the Draft National Youth Work Strategy which sets out ambitions for ensuring young people are placed at the centre of all youth work practice.

Consultation on the draft strategy will take place in January and February 2014 through a series of National Discussions across Scotland.  These discussions will involve a range of stakeholders including young people and will inform the implementation plan.  More information about the national discussions will be available in due course.

The final strategy and implementation plan will be published in April 2014.
