As detached youth work becomes centre-stage
in a variety of social policy agendas, the debate continues as to whether
this constitutes real ‘opportunity’. Are these tainted by a shift from
a history based more on the values of informal education and,
particularly, the youth work relationship, to (and perhaps at best) youth
work as a ‘progressive response to crime’?
Will the rolling out of Integrated Youth Support Services
spell the marginalisation of this distinctive form of practice or will
detached youth work step forward and lead a more progressive agenda?
Following on from a hugely successful conference last
year, the Federation for Detached Youth Work hopes to build upon the
positivity of that gathering by inviting participation in a debate framed
around the critical question:
‘What is the place of detached youth work in the future?’
Cost for participation in the full programme will be £350 per person
(including accommodation, meals) and £80 per person per day (including
meals).
