The strategy has been developed in collaboration with the Young Barnet Foundation, and with the participation of young people, youth organisations, schools, council services, parent / carers and other partners across the borough.
The Barnet Youth Strategy is still a draft, and all comments and feedback we receive will be carefully considered and can contribute towards revising and refining it and hopefully towards having a youth strategy for the borough that reflects what is most important and should be delivered for our young people.
The consultation closes on 6 October and can be accessed here: Barnet Youth Strategy 2026-2036 consultation – Fill out form.
Although the questionnaire contains 22 pages, the questions about the draft strategy are on pages 3 to 10 onlyand should take around 10 to 20 minutes to complete.
All feedback received during the consultation will be carefully reviewed and used to strengthen and refine the final strategy.
Please do complete the survey if you are able to and encourage your young people to give their views too, if possible.
