Overview
Five Implementation Participation Groups (IPG’s) have been established to support the work of the Youth Work Strategy Implementation Board (YWSIB). These groups are:
- looking in depth at specific areas and topics
- considering evidence
- advising on next steps in the development of the interim board’s recommendations
Each IPG is chaired by a YWSIB member. Members were invited to join IPGs by submitting an expression of interest. These were reviewed by the Chair, ensuring each group included representatives with a range of perspectives and expertise.
