Join the DCSF Children and Youth Board!

The Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) is looking for 25 children and young people aged between 8 and 18 to form their Children and Youth Board.

The Board’s job is to give advice to Ministers and officials on the policies that affect children and young people in England. This includes things like the Children Plan and the Government’s play strategy. You do not need to have had any experience of getting involved in decision-making to apply. Children and young people who apply will sit on the Board from 2009 to 2011.

The deadline for applications is 10am on Monday 29 June 2009.

To find out more or to get an application pack, e-mail Sarah Chittenden at or call her on 020 7843 6103.
