Youth Work Briefing
The latest briefing will always be available on the website: see site map - Latest - Youth Work Briefing.
We are now in a position to do this as we generate the Youth Work Briefing directly from the pages on the website. It would be helpful if members could send information for the Youth Work Briefing in word format with an email contact or a link to their own websites. If you send a pdf it will be added as a link but it will not sit on our website. Articles should not contain tables or boxes. The only exception to this is job advertisements. We will continue to send the Youth Work Briefing by email every fortnight but it can now be accessed on the website at any time.
