Conclusion
To have an impact with young people, the Youth Guarantee must not become another here-today-gone-tomorrow scheme. Having started down this path, DWP should make the guarantee the long-term basis for youth policy. To demonstrate its commitment, DWP should announce a minimum funding level for the next 10-years. This should include equally long- term funding settlements with local government so that local areas and stakeholders can make long-term planning decisions. (Recommendation, Paragraph 76)
