The Government have recently published a report on 'Youth Matters: State of the Nation'
Youth Matters: State of the Nation is a report published alongside the National Youth Strategy which sets out the reality of what it is like to grow up in England in 2025.
The report highlights current patterns, challenges, and wants that are shaping young people’s lives. It draws together the voices of over 14,000 young people of the ages 10-21 and up to 25 for those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) who engaged in the National Youth Strategy Survey.
