NCIA’s Bernard Davies will be leading a session at a conference looking at the considerable challenges youth work is facing as whole services are closed down and some of the most distinctive approaches are threatened. Staws in the wind is on 24 May 2011 in Leicester.

Drawing on the findings from a modest inquiry into the way policy influences the practice of youth work, the conference will provide a forum for practitioners, policy makers and academics to consider how services are responding to the changing landscape and consider some of the implications for future work with young people.
