We've supported a new NALC publication 'Whatever, yeah? Local councils and youth provision' highlighting some of the innovative approaches local councils are taking to better represent and involve young people.

Local councils have the advantage of being the tier of local government closest to the community and in the best position to understand its needs and respond to them. Engaging young people is a key concern for a great many local councils.

Positive engagement can help young people feel more integrated into the community, help them to make a positive contribution and reduce instances of anti-social behaviour often caused simply out of boredom. NALC’s new publication highlights six innovative approaches to youth provision from across the country.
