A new government must abolish regulations that remove
automatic entitlement to housing support for 18 to 21-year-olds, says the YMCA.
It’s ‘Youth First’ manifesto brings together more than 40 recommendations
including access to housing. Other priorities include:
·
Invest in early intervention mental health
services for young people in schools and communities, including targeted
campaigns that addresses the lack of knowledge and stigma surrounding mental
health difficulties
·
Ensure all students in school or college have
access to careers information, advice and guidance delivered by professional
specialists
·
Reclassify youth services as a statutory
service, which will require each local authority to have in a place a youth
services strategy.
