Plans for the future include the creation and publication of guidelines for healthy youth work, ensuring that these fit in with the increasingly popular Quality Mark for Services to Young People. The team will also work to define and create training pathways between youth work and other professions working with young people, especially in the health field. Important health resources will be updated and published for use in non-formal education settings, and a free, extensive information service for individuals and organisations on health issues will be established.
NYA chief executive Tom Wylie has welcomed the establishment of the health team. He said: "We have learned much from our close work with the Department of Health and a wide range of partners over the past three years. With their continued support we are establishing something new that we believe will become a permanent feature of our future work and will help tie together the existing work in other parts of The NYA."
