Youth work is more vital now than ever

    Opinion
  • Tuesday, December 22, 2009
    • | CYP Now
This year is shaping up to be the most challenging one for youth services in recent memory. Further cutbacks in public services coupled with nearly one million 16- to 24-year-olds not in employment, education or training are going to place a huge strain on youth services just at the time they are most needed.

Break down the wall of ignorance

    Opinion
  • Wednesday, April 1, 2009
    • | CYP Now
It's disappointing to hear of examples where the role of youth work is overlooked and under-appreciated. But sadly all too often this still is the case.

    Opinion

    • | CYP Now
THE ISSUEReports looking at childhood have claimed that children's lives in Britain have become "more difficult than in the past", and that "more young people are anxious and troubled".

Youth participation is more than a luxury

    Opinion
  • Friday, May 28, 2010
    • | CYP Now
Youth participation has become a core element of the youth sector over the past five years. But, in the five years ahead, there is likely to be a shift from providing positive activities, where it is relatively easy to build youth participation into schemes, to offering employability programmes.

    Opinion

    • | CYP Now
As CYP Now predicted last week, the Department for Education has removed the ringfence around the remaining 40.8m of the youth opportunity fund. The ringfence guaranteed that money went to local grant-making youth panels to spend on projects requested by local young people.

    Opinion
  • Wednesday, June 30, 2010

Innovation and funding in services for children and young people

    Opinion

    • | CYP Now

    • | CYP Now
It's easy to become consumed by your own job prospects in difficult economic times. But spare a thought for those looking to get a foot on the career ladder.

Big society could hit small charities hard

    Opinion
  • Wednesday, September 1, 2010
    • | CYP Now
Will small and medium-sized youth charities be among the biggest losers of the coalition government? It seems an odd question to ask given the now youth minister Tim Loughton's comments before the election that he would make it a personal priority to find new ways of supporting the voluntary youth sector.

From the Frontline - Uniforms allow the person to shine through

    Opinion
  • Monday, September 15, 2008
