Response to the Queensland Youth Strategy

26/8/2013

0 Comments

 
The following response firstly considers the four key platforms or statements made in the Foreword of the 2013 Queensland Youth Strategy and reiterated throughout the strategy and then each of its 6 “areas of connection” in terms of:
  • Whether each area reflects key concerns for young people and for the youth sector
  • The relevance of the attached action plan in addressing each area, and
  • What is missing.
This analysis clearly demonstrates that the Queensland Government, acting without any consultation with young people (especially those from marginalised groups) or with youth sector representatives, have developed a weak, under-resourced, inconsistent framework which is unlikely to benefit those young Queenslanders who most need services and supports.
