The guide starts from the government's view, as expressed in Aiming high for young people, that "high quality youth work, delivered by third and statutory sectors, is central to delivering our ambition of increasing the number of young people on the path to success and an important function of integrated youth support services". It looks at what youth work is, the policy context, how it's carried out, what it offers young people, what skills youth workers need and becoming qualified, alongside case studies and further information and reading suggestions. It can be downloaded for free from The NYA website at www.nya.org.uk. Follow the links from the home page.
