The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) commissioned an independent provider to conduct the Youth Enrichment research.

This exploratory research examines enrichment: how stakeholders across the education and youth sectors define it, who provides it, and young peoples experiences of it.

This paper is intended to support discussion within DCMS and between DCMS and the Department for Education (DfE) about how enrichment can be further supported.

The research is based on initial scoping consultations, a desk-based document review, interviews with education and youth sector stakeholders and focus groups with young people.
