Aiming higher for children and young people:
This project responds to the independent recommendations presented to Welsh Government on the Youth Work Strategy for Wales.
In particular:
- To work together to promote equality, inclusion and diversity, both in terms of access to youth work services in Wales, and in relation to the role that youth work services can play in proactively challenging discriminatory attitudes and behaviours within society.
- To build on its commitment to support and develop the youth work profession with a career structure offering progression.
