The new edition will be essential reading for all foundation and undergraduate students of youth work. It will also be a valuable resource for qualified health, social care and education professionals who wish to understand the intricacies of working with young people.
This has been really useful for my Level 3 youth work students. It breaks down youth work practice and is a really good text. I would recommend to people studying at either L3 or degree level.
An excellent book for UG and PG CYW students. It has been added to the essential reading list on our courses.
A good publication to support this sector
Very useful text regarding youth work. Presents a nice balance between theory and practice covering major areas of course syllabus such as understanding youth work, enhancing young peoples participation and developing project proposals.
I would recommend this text to students undertaking their Youth and Community Work degree.
This text covers a wide range of topics that will enable students to fully understand the principles and practices of Youth work.
Does what it says on the tin
An excellent book, which provides a great overview. Students find it readable!
Excellent book, general enough to be adopted to the Irish setting. Good diagrams and visuals. Easy to read and well laid out for students
Recommended resource for youth worker students and those wanting to understand good practice.
This is a very good practical text for students who are considering a career in (or practising in the field of) youth work. I particularly found the first chapter useful when teaching students the importance of values, youth work principles and ethical practice.
