British Youth Council Welcomes Government’s 10 Year Strategy The British Youth Council (BYC) welcomed the launch of Aiming high for young people: a ten year strategy for positive activities, the government’s new ten year youth strategy which aims to transform opportunities for young people in England by improving facilities and services across the country. BYC’s Head of Policy and Public Affairs, Jo Field said: "BYC is pleased that the youth offer recognises the challenges faced by young people today growing up in a culture where negative perceptions of youth are widespread. "We are delighted that the ten year strategy references research evidence from our Respect? campaign and acknowledges that negative perceptions and frustration at feeling they are not listened to can often act as a barrier to young people’s participation in services."
