As part of the ongoing implementation of the new Youth Work Statutory Framework, the Welsh Government require all Local Authority youth work teams to submit a Strategic Plan by September of this year.
This is in advance of the Framework becoming embedded across the sector from 1 April 2027.
Here you can find a template of the Strategic Plan for your information;

We know many of our members work closely with colleagues in the Statutory Youth Sector in Wales and you may have already started to be contacted by your local Principal Youth Officer (PYO) as part of the development of these plans.
We recently shared contact details for the Principal Youth Officers by Local Authority in Wales if any of you wanted to get in touch with your local PYO to discuss upcoming plans.
