The Federation for Detached Youth Work is running a conference entitled How Detached Youth Work Fits in with the Every Child Matters Five Outcomes.

To be held on 20 September 2006 at Birmingham Voluntary Service Council, it will explore how detached youth work fits in with the Every Child Matters agenda; how detached youth work records the progress of individuals and groups of young people; how detached youth work accredits street-based learning; and innovative ways to evidence detached youth work benefits to young people, including numbers benefiting; quality of interventions; and progress made by individuals and groups.

Costs for the event are 50 for members and 70 for non-members. For further details, contact Acomo Olule on 0116 242 7490, email fdyw@nya.org.uk or visit the web site: www.detachedyouthwork.info and follow the link to conferences, where you can download the programme and booking form in Word format.
