London's youth workers are being invited to learn about the reality and history of East London's early youth work - the free education offered to the poor by Dr Barnardo. The Ragged School Museum is housed in the very building Barnardo used for his school in Copperfield Road, London. It recently hosted a history talk for youth work students from YMCA George Williams in Canning Town. Museum director Eleanor Clark said: "Sitting in our Victorian school desks and hearing all about the grim lives of the Victorian poor, youth workers should leave with a sense of how today's treatment of young people and children compares to the past."
