Ofsted has published its 2007 Annual Performance Assessment (APA) letters, which reveal an encouraging number of positive references to the role of youth work and youth services.
Seventy-two per cent (90) of the 125 letters published make reference to the youth service and indicate that services are contributing to all five of the Every Child Matters outcomes for young people.
