Text
I have met various youth organisations. They had relayed their concerns with the existing way in which that was being operated by the Education Authority. That is why we had a prolonged period of consultation and engagement taken forward by the EA. That has led to changes to the youth framework in that respect that have been received positively by many. From my engagement with a lot of those organisations, I can say that they have seen the benefit of the changes that have been put in place. I am, however, more than happy to continue to engage on that with the youth sector and with young people.
