British Youth Council launches their annual Youth Select Committee

The British Youth Council has launched their annual Youth Select Committee - which for 2015 will be an inquiry into youth mental health services. The inquiry will explore issues around awareness, education and services for young people (under 25) and is calling for a wide range of witnesses including young people, campaigners, experts and parliamentarians.

They are encouraging individuals and organisations to submit evidence and also to share this information with other groups and experts you work with.

• How to submit written evidence: Written evidence should be received by the Committee no later than 12pm on 22 May 2015.  More information on how to submit evidence and the questions which written evidence should address are available here: http://www.byc.org.uk/uk-work/youth-select-committee/call-for-evidence.aspx
