This book covers so much ground for working with young people and really helps to apply theory to practice. It has an excellent chapter on anti-oppressive practice, an area students sometimes have difficulty writing about and also addresses global youth work and ethical values, among other topics.

Part two applies policy to practice and has some informative chapters around areas such as statutory youth services and the voluntary sector in addition to addressing other current key policies which will really get the student reflecting on their own practice.
