By comparing youth work to the nine questions included in the coalition government's comprehensive spending review framework, the National Youth Agency has demonstrated the critical role of youth work in creating the big society.
Fiona Blacke, NYA, chief executive, said: "The National Youth Agency believes that great youth work is essential to meet the coalition government's priorities for young people. It builds social capital, strengthens society and makes a real difference to communities and the lives of young people. Youth work can represent real value for money by addressing the issues faced by young people early and head on."
