NYA publishes response to Comprehensive Spending Review
20 September 2010
Comprehensive Spending Review (CSR)
In June’s Emergency Budget, the Coalition Government announced that the October Comprehensive Spending Review (CSR) will detail cuts on average of 25 per cent over the next four years for most government departments. This is on top of the £311 million in-year cuts to local authority education budgets. To prepare for the Spending Review, HM Treasury has asked all departments to consider their budgets against nine criteria.
The NYA has produced a paper examining the role of youth work against these nine criteria. It has been produced to reflect the value of youth work, and help organisations and services consider how they might wish to respond as they prepare for the Spending Review. The paper is also an ‘offer’ to government – outlining the potential role of youth work in creating the Coalition Government’s vision for the Big Society.
