The National Youth Agency: Quality - Spring issue of Youth & Policy focuses on youth mentoring

The spring 2008 issue of Youth & Policy, guest edited by Kate Philip, senior research fellow in the School of Education at the University of Aberdeen, focuses specifically on youth mentoring.

Writing in an introduction she says: "In recent years, youth mentoring has become an element of youth policy in the UK, a development that few could have foreseen in the early 1990s. The enthusiasm of the current government and the resonance between the language of social inclusion and mentoring has undoubtedly contributed to the high public profile."

Among the articles included are Youth Mentoring and the Parent-Young Person Relationship: Considerations for Research and Practice; Understanding Youth Exclusion: Critical moments, social networks and social capital; Obligatory friends, surrogate kin: some questions for mentoring; and Youth Mentoring: Improving programmes through research-based practice.
