Publisher Description:

This valuable textbook communicates the complexities and controversies at the heart of youth work management, exploring key issues in a critical fashion. Written by a team of experienced youth work lecturers, the chapters cover topics such as planning, evaluation and supervision, whilst acknowledging the changing structures of integrated services and the impact of public service reform.

Divided into three sections, it covers:

  • Historical and theoretical context
  • Critical practice issues, including leadership, policy constraints, planning and accountability
  • Managing in different settings, for instance integrated services and the voluntary sector.

Aimed at both youth work students studying for their professional qualification, as well as practicing managers, Critical Issues in Youth Work Management encourages critical thinking about what management in youth work is and what it can be. It includes reflective questions and further reading, and case studies are integrated throughout.
