The children's commissioner has asked this morning that communities be rebuilt. Young people need to have a positive sense of belonging. #youthwork offers this. Invest in youth work and you invest in young people! #chooseyouthwork

This woman is amazing!
Lady with wavy hair, "I'm sat here and I'm baffled that you (Andrew Mitchell) can talk about serious youth violence as if your party is not directly responsible for services being stripped to their bones" "Grassroots organisations are on their knees. They're supporting vulnerable young people" "Until you acknowledge that we need proper intervention into early intervention services, police need a working definition of child criminal exploitation, young people need to be treated as the victims that they are; not further criminalised, further harmed and pushed to the edges of society" "At best your party has been incompetent. At worst you have been negligent" "You are directly responsible for the increase in youth violence, loss of life and liberty, that we are seeing in our communities"

I've been listening to a series on @BBCWomansHour on engaging young people who are facing various challenges. Great insight into different approaches to working with young people and the unique flexibility and autonomy #youthwork can provide #youthworkcareers

#breakingthecycle applies to so many aspects of #youthwork highlighting the complexities that young people face in their journey. We also have to remember #youngpeople are just as concerned, worried and anxious as adults are
