The publication of the youth green paper is expected to delayed until February and is expected to be published at the same time as the Russell Commission’s report on youth volunteering, YMCA England said this week, writes Amy Taylor.

The green paper had previously been expected to be published in December.

A YMCA England spokesperson said that the organisation expected the results of the Russell Commission’s consultation on youth action and engagement to either be included in proposals set out in the youth green paper or published separately at “much the same time”.

Susanne Rauprich, chief executive of the National Council of Voluntary Youth Services, said that she also expected the green paper to come out in February.

A Russell Commission spokesperson said that their report would be a separate document and that it would be published in late February to early March.

The Commission’s report will put forward proposals for a new national framework to increase youth volunteering and civic service by young people.
