BYC Media Reps
The British Youth Council (BYC) is looking to recruit a diverse group of young people to act as media spokespeople. This exciting role will involve young people becoming spokespeople and responding to journalists (Television, Radio, Web and Printed) on behalf of BYC. The media spokespeople will be trained and fully supported to comment on a broad range of issues from ASBOs and votes at 16, to sexual health and education.
Youth Matters: Next Steps
The Department for Education and Skills have today published 'Youth Matters: Next Steps. The report is published after a lengthy consultation period in which 19,000 responses were received from young people alone. Key reforms in the Next Steps include:
A statutory duty for local authorities, in the context of national standards, to ensure that young people have access to a wide range of positive activities.
10 pilot projects around England to develop the Youth Opportunity card.
The volunteering proposals being carried out by the Russell Commission Implementation Body.
Improve Information, Advice and Guidance by encouraging schools and colleges to work in partnership with children's trusts.
Improving and simplifying how we help young people who lead complicated and troubled lives.
