Working with Young People by Roger Harrison

`a useful contribution to the development of resources for workers and students' - Youth & Policy

Working with Young People provides a selection of writing from a complex, ambiguous and dynamic field of work. The editors take a multidisciplinary approach to draw together key readings reflecting the variety of theoretical and practical perspectives on working with young people. The selection aims to cover the key themes currently under discussion. Such content means the book equips students with knowledge of values and principles required for successful qualification as a worker in the field.

Included are chapters on:

The ethical values and principles guiding practice

Anti-discriminatory practice

Concepts of youth

Informal education

Counselling and youth work

This is a student-friendly and engaging text that is linked to the National Occupational Standards for Youth Work and also includes recent policy statements from the National Youth Agency and the DfES.

The book is a core text for all those studying for foundation degrees and NVQ2 or 3 in youth work and youth studies, as well as being relevant across the undergraduate fields of social care and education. It is also an invaluable resource for experienced professionals and practice supervisors working with young people in statutory or voluntary organisations.
