The APPG on Poverty and Inequality has published its report on young people who are Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET), highlighting the role that poverty and structural inequalities play in shaping young people's opportunities.

We're pleased to have contributed evidence to the inquiry, ensuring the experiences of Romani (Gypsy), Roma and Irish Traveller young people were part of the conversation.

Far too many young people from our communities face barriers to education, employment and training because of discrimination, exclusion and poverty. We hope this report helps drive meaningful action to tackle these inequalities and create better opportunities for every young person.
