Strengthening the legislative basis for Youth Work in Wales
Join the Welsh Government’s Youth Engagement Team for the next phase of the ‘Empower Hour’ engagement sessions.
A series of ‘Empower Hour’ online sessions were held in December 2023 and January 2024 to engage with the sector on some key themes relating to strengthening the legislative basis for youth work. You can find the key messages from those sessions here.
Since then, a range of partners and stakeholders have met with the team to explore these themes and issues in more detail. These discussions are helping to inform their work to develop proposals to revise the existing statutory directions and guidance.
The next series of ‘Empower Hour’ online sessions will focus on three specific areas:
- Strategic planning for youth work
- Accountability within youth work
- Partnerships for youth work.
They want to engage with different groups involved in youth work and those new to the sector. Key questions will be introduced to help gather a diverse range of experiences and ideas. Further details of those sessions are provided below. Please join the conversation!
