Best Practice Youth Work

Welcome to an item on the WCVYS website, where we are celebrating the wonderful variety of youth work in Warwickshire which is delivered by the Voluntary Sector. This section will be regularly updated with new items as we receive them, so please keep emailing us your reports.

WCVYS has worked closely with Warwickshire County Council's Youth and Community Service in collating reports from the Voluntary and Statutory Youth services, which showcase the many opportunities that are being created for young people around the 5 Every Child Matters Outcomes. The Best Practice Report, which includes all the statutory reports in addition to those from the voluntary sector can be accessed on the Warwickshire Youth and Community Service website.. The reports have also been produced into a limited number of hard copies, one of which can be accessed at the WCVYS office.

As well as celebrating best practice across the county, we also hope that by reading the reports, you will be inspired by the work carried out by the voluntary sector and that you may develop your own practice as a result.

Follow the links below to read the reports. If you would like any further information about the projects, then contact Helen Smith at WCVYS and she will put you in touch with the relevant organisations. A huge thank you goes out to all those who have contributed so far.
