Positive engagement through youth work: working with Roma children and young people in Derby, supporting their wellbeing
Phil M Henry and Simon Williams, Today's Children Are Tomorrow's Parents, (2015)
This article explores the impact on wellbeing of Roma Community Care's (RCC) youth work-led approach to engaging Slovak and Czech Roma young people in Derby. In developing this case study, the authors used an ethnographic approach to explore the youth work context. Both Henry and Williams are involved in the project and they explore their status as both researcher and participant in the article.
