APPG for Youth Employment Series 4 - The role of the family in supporting young people into employment.

In this series we want to look at how the family supports young people into employment. Understanding that not all children start from the same place in life we believe it is important to explore where government and society need to bridge the gaps in the absence of family or where family resources are not equal.

Alongside specialist speakers who will provide evidence across a range of meetings in parliament an inquiry will be open (from 1st July - 31st October) to organisations and individuals with particular experience of supporting young people in the absence of the family. We would like to draw on the experiences of these organisations to understand what works for young people and what more can be done to support all young people.

There will be three meetings in this series - 10/09, 22/10, 10/12

In this first meeting on the 10th September we will hear from Dr Emily Rainsford of Newcastle University who led the research on the report - The role of the family in social mobility.

If you wish to submit a response to the inquiry or put your organisation forward to give evidence at one of the meetings please visit https://appgyouthemployment.org/ for details.

Please note that places are limited at the APPG for Youth Employment meetings and priority places are given to members of Youth Employment UK.

You will need to arrive at least 30 minutes ahead of the session to clear through secuirty.

Please keep an eye on social media throughout the day of the APPG for notice of any last minute room changes, unfortunatley the Houses of Parliament reserve all rights to make last minute changes and even cancellations. Follow @YEUK2012 for information.
