Tony Taylor's open letter "In defence of youth work" could not have been more timely for me (CYP Now, 23-29 April). I tend to agree broadly with his thesis, even though the devil can be in the detail on principles such as voluntarism. And times do change - as I have said before, youth work has to distinguish between its cherished values (to be defended) and its sacred cows (to be slain).
