Youth Policy Feedback
Council wants to work with our community - gathering feedback when updating policies to ensure the needs of our community are always being met. Have your say on the revised Dorset Council Youth Policy.
In revising this Policy, the following additional resources were accessed:
- OECD Youth Policy Toolkit 2024
Structured around five pillars, the toolkit provides practical guidance in designing and executing policies that address the unique challenges young people face today and includes OECD data.
