Published by the Youth Work inWales Review Group, January 2013

This document has been producedfor the managers and trustees ofyouth organisations, politicians,local authority elected membersand officers, practitioners,trainers, and people training tobe youth workers. It has also beenwritten for young people, thosealready involved in youthorganisations as well as thosewishing to find out more aboutthe kinds of experience youthorganisations can provide.

The main objective of thedocument is to set out the keyprinciples which underpin youthwork and to provide an overviewof its nature, purposes anddelivery. The content of thedocument applies specifically toyouth work in Wales but is likelyto be consistent with youth workprinciples, purposes and practicein other parts of the UK and inthe Republic of Ireland.

The delivery of youth servicesprovides a powerful mechanismfor engaging with andlistening to young people. InWales, the ‘Rights of Childrenand Young Persons Measure,2011’ strengthens and buildson the rights-based approachof the Welsh Government tomaking policy for children andyoung people in Wales. From 1May 2012 to 30 April 2014,Welsh Ministers must have dueregard to the rights in theUnited Nations Convention onthe Rights of the Child (UNCRC)when making decisions aboutproposed new policies orlegislation or about reviewingor changing existing policies.Then, from 1 May 2014, WelshMinisters must have dueregard to the rights in theUNCRC whenever they use anyof their legal powers or duties.

The National Youth WorkStrategy for Wales (see Section08, ‘Signposts to OtherInformation’) sets out nationalpriorities for the Youth Serviceand for supporting youngpeople in Wales.

Whilst the youth work sectorin Wales recognises andcontributes to a number ofnational policy priorities suchas the National Youth WorkStrategy for Wales, it seeks torespond to and inform policyon the basis of the values andprinciples set out in thisdocument.

Youth Work in Wales:Principles and Purposes has been produced byrepresentatives of the voluntary and local authority youth work sectors in Wales. A web-based version, designed primarily for young people, is available atwww.cwvys.org.uk or www.wlga.org.uk

What is Youth Work? 02Youth work in Wales is basedprimarily on a voluntaryrelationship between youngpeople and youth workers. TheYouth Service is a universalentitlement, open to all youngpeople within the specifiedage range 11-25.

Youth work respects the viewsand opinions of young peoplethrough their participation inthe design, creation andestablishment of services andprovision which meet theirneeds and aspirations. Suchprovision is determined as aresult of the participation ofyoung people taking intoaccount their requirements,desires, interests and aspirations.

Youth work provides orfacilitates:f places and relationships

within which young peoplecan enjoy themselves, feelsecure, supported andvalued, learn to take greatercontrol of their lives, andrecognise and resist thedamaging influences whichmay affect them;

f non-formal, informal andstructured educationalopportunities and experienceswhich challenge both theinstitutions and young peoplethemselves to enhance theirpersonal, social and politicaldevelopment;

f access to relevant advice,information, support andguidance.

Good youth work provides allyoung people with opportunities,can support them throughsignificant developments intheir lives, assists them tounderstand their rights andencourages them to develop knowledge and skills.

What is youth work?The key purpose of youth workis to... “enable young peopleto develop holistically, workingwith them to facilitate theirpersonal, social and educationaldevelopment, to enable themto develop their voice, influenceand place in society and toreach their full potential.”

Delivering HighQuality Youth Work

07To deliver the Five Pillars ofYouth Work (see Section 06),organisations and youthworkers use a range ofprocesses including:

f developing relationshipsand trust;

f emphasising the role of theyoung person in theprocesses of youth work;

f assessing need;f providing information;f referring young people to

other provision asappropriate whilst offeringcontinued support ifrequired;

f mentoring;f advocating;f challenging;f building personal and social

development and resilience;f planning, monitoring and

evaluation.

Youth work seeks to implementthese processes whilst ensuringthe health, well-being andsafety of young people.

Youth work organisations andall engaged in youth work areexpected to assess outcomesand impact and to have systemsfor the planning, monitoringand evaluation of all aspects oftheir work with young people.Organisations and individualyouth workers should be ableto use self-assessment and self-assessment tools to identifypositive benefits for youngpeople and to reflect on anddevelop their practice.

In developing and evaluatingtheir work, providers shouldtake account of the NationalOccupational Standards (NOS) forYouth Work, the ParticipationStandards and the InformationStandards. Links to thesestandards have been providedin Section 08, Signposts toOther Information.
