Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, with reference to the Answer of 10 February 2016 to Question 26796, how the figure of (a) £1,500 allocated to each young person and (b) cost of running the NCS Trust was calculated.
The Answer to Question 26796 included the table below setting out the average cost per participant since 2011.
Year | Average cost per participant |
2011 | £1,553 |
2012 | £1,700 |
2013 | £1,570 |
2014 | £1,538 |
2015 | Figures will be made available in the NCS 2015 evaluation report, which will be published in due course. |
For each year, these costs are calculated by dividing the total cost of payments made from NCS Trust to NCS provider organisations by the total number of NCS participants. This approach was developed by independent experts.
These figures do not include the operating costs of the NCS Trust. For further information on the NCS Trust’s operating budget, please see the published NCS Trust accounts which are available through Companies House.
