It considers how the Government can help all young people, particularly those in deprived areas, to take part in enjoyable and purposeful activities in their free time which can help them develop new skills and raise their aspirations.
A young people’s version of the strategy, which summarises how the Government is going to help young people make the most of their free time, is also available.

The Department has also produced the Youth Transitions Overview Paper, which is available here. This document examines the Every Child Matters outcomes and key influences on young people's development
