The review should be commissioned by the Department of Education and be led by an independent Chair, endorsed by youth leaders from representative organisations, such as UKSCN. It should cover all aspects of formal education in England, including tertiary education. It should start summer 2020 and report by spring 2021. As well as reviewing current practice, it should make a series of costed recommendations where appropriate.
