8:03Now PlayingLaura joins Secretary of State for Culture, Media, and Sport Lisa Nandy on College Green to discuss the government’s new national youth club scheme, a flagship policy aiming to revitalise youth services across the UK.
Nandy explains how the programme will create safe spaces for young people, expand community facilities, and offer better access to sports, arts, mentorship and after-school activities. They explore why investment in youth work has become a central part of her agenda, and why the investment is so necessary after years of Tory austerity.
The conversation also turns to the ongoing controversy within Girlguiding UK after reports that the organisation is being pressured to exclude trans girls from its activities. Nandy notes the Supreme Court ruling on the definition of a woman, but says the government needs to find "new ways" of including people.
Finally, we ask for her reaction to Australia’s nationwide social media ban for under-16s, a policy that has sparked global discussion. Nandy shares her concerns about the policy, and why she prefers an approach centred around regulation, safety standards and digital literacy.
