Strong Futures: Draft SA Youth Action Plan 2020 Consultation - May 2020

YACSA had consistently advocated for a long-term youth strategy that is based on robust and widespread consultation and articulates and responds to the needs of young people and the sector that supports them.

YACSA consulted a range of our members to inform this submission, who outlined concerns that broadly, the plan makes general statements of intent without details, milestones, non-government partners or a funding commitment and as such, there is uncertainty about what the impacts of the plan will be. There is also concern about how the plan will adapt to the changing needs of young people as the impacts of the COVID-19 virus unfold.
