Every Child Matters and Youth Work Briefings

We have commissioned a series of papers looking at the contribution of youth work to delivering better services across the local authority. Each of the papers concentrates on one of the Every Child Matters outcomes. The papers give an overview of Government policy, draw on academic research, and give examples of effective youth work practice.
