Young People's Education and Skills Annual Plan

In the course of 2021, the Young People's Education and Skills Board developed its role in the context of London’s recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic.

These proved to be a valued resource at a time when meetings were not taking place regularly and have continued in a slightly different form since restrictions have changed.
