Details
In September 2024, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) commissioned SQW (an independent research organisation) in partnership with UK Youth (the UK’s leading youth work charity) to undertake a research study exploring how, in practice, youth workers interact with other sector personnel/agencies.
It was intended that the research would help DCMS to design future policy and programmes and may also inform future thinking about the National Youth Strategy and Young Futures Hubs. As such, in addition to the main body of this report, a ‘Suggestions for good practice’ section has been included in Section 9, which can be accessed as either a part of this broader research, or independently by practitioners and policy makers to guide the work that they do.
