Youth Sector System Guidance Launch | Virtual Learning Café

On 9 July, we hosted a Virtual Learning Café to explore the new System Guidance and what it means for National policy programmes, commissioning and local training. The session brought together Policy leaders, Senior charity leaders and commissioners to reflect on the evidence and respond to the recommendations in real time. During the Learning Café, we: *Introduced the new system guidance and its six key recommendations *Explored the evidence base behind each system change *Heard from our guest speaker, Luke Billingham (Youth Worker at Hackney Quest & Research Associate at the Open University) responding directly to system guidance recommendation 2 on dedicated funding for youth clubs as a key preventative service. *Discussed implications for what this means for youth sector leaders (policy leads, commissioners, and senior charity leads)
