Yell out about youth work's success

    Opinion
  • Friday, May 28, 2010
    • | CYP Now
The New Labour years were hardly characterised by profligacy in spending on young people's services. It was generally only the most deprived areas that received more than 100 a head to spend on providing youth services.

Editorial: A backward step for youth justice

    Opinion
  • Monday, May 24, 2010
    • | CYP Now
The new government's decision to give the Ministry of Justice sole responsibility for youth justice in England and Wales is massively misguided. It ends a three-year spell where responsibility was shared with the former Department for Children, Schools and Families. During that time, as it happens, the youth prison population declined from 2,927 in March 2007 to 2,207 in March 2010.

    • | CYP Now
The Association of Directors of Children's Services (ADCS) pledged, in its annual report last week, to assess and build on the progress of Every Child Matters (ECM) for the next five years, as a policy priority for the coming 12 months. It is a good priority to hold, particularly given the uncertainty ahead.

Tories must go beyond citizen service

    Opinion
  • Monday, April 12, 2010
    • | CYP Now
The Conservatives scored a PR coup in securing such a luminary as Michael Caine to launch their flagship youth policy, the National Citizen Service (NCS), to the electorate last week. Party leader David Cameron cited Gandhi - "The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others" - among a flurry of uplifting soundbites to unveil the summer youth scheme for school leavers.

    Opinion
  • Tuesday, April 6, 2010
    • | CYP Now
