The move by many local authorities to provide integrated youth support services has brought opportunities and challenges for the traditional role of the youth worker.
But amid all the new job titles and departments the ethos behind youth work remains the same: to provide young people with the best possible start in life. This thinking is also reflected in Youth Work Now. The new monthly title is designed to help you, the youth worker, in your job and give others providing services to children and young people an insight into the unique work that you do.
The magazine includes tips and practical advice for youth professionals. We've recruited respected youth work trainer and author Vanessa Rogers to write a monthly Work Pack to be used in group sessions, and Tracie Trimmer-Platman, director of programmes at London Youth, as our resident expert to answer readers' workplace problems. We're also delighted to welcome Southend-on-Sea's head of service Michael Bracey, who will write his own humorous take on leading a youth service.
