My Department is currently developing an overarching Youth Policy Framework to accommodate the identified areas and issues pertinent to young people within the 10-24 age range that fall within – and which are related to - the remit of my Department. The overall aim of the Framework is to clarify and enhance coherence, connectivity, coordination and delivery in youth services and related out-of-school services for young people. Work in this regard is progressing with a view to finalising and publishing the Framework and accompanying implementation plan in 2012.
