Yes, I do repeat the commitments I made in front of committee, and I will be more than happy to attend committee again, at its request, in order to continue this conversation and to outline further how we’d expect and anticipate this area of policy to develop over the next period.

I’m very anxious—. I recognise the point made by Julie Morgan about youth work rather than youth support services, but I’m very anxious that youth work be seen as a strategic service as well, and not simply as a leisure facility or a service of last resort. I want it to be sitting alongside all the diversity of youth support services, which will ensure that we’re able to have quality youth work provision available to young people throughout the statutory and voluntary sectors and I believe that a national board will help us to achieve that.

But I want us to ensure—and this goes back to the point that was raised earlier by Darren Millar—that board membership will cover the spectrum of youth support services, not just the statutory and voluntary youth work sectors, and to ensure that we have a very real focus that isn’t simply limited to one part of the whole spectrum of services available to young people, for the reasons you’ve just given in terms of particular groups within the overall population, where there is a requirement for services to work together in order to deliver a more holistic approach than simply one part of what their requirements and needs actually are. So, it’s to ensure that you have that comprehensive approach that I’m taking a much wider view, but within that, as I said in answer to Lynne Neagle earlier, I would expect there to be a clear focus; however, I want that focus to be contextualised within the overall delivery of services to young people.
