IPG Webinar: Strategic Engagement and Communications

WEBINAR: Building Stronger links between Youth Work and other parts of the Education system

​​This webinar is presented by the Strategic Communication and Engagement Implementation Participation Group (SCEIPG), one of five groups established to support the work of the Youth Work Strategy Implementation Board.

​​One of the recommendations within the ‘Time to deliver for young people in Wales’ report focuses on the role of regional delivery partnerships to support local delivery. To support progress in this area, a network of representatives from the youth work sector have expressed an interest in working more closely with Education Sector and their Children and Young People’s Groups to build a better understanding of the needs of young people, how services currently address those needs and identifying opportunities to foster further links between services.

​We want to better understand the good things that are happening across Wales and help inform how this recommendation, and other aspects of our work, such as the connected work with Regional Partnership Boards (RPB) are developed.

​​In this webinar, we will highlight the importance of Youth work and education working hand in hand and include examples of good practice from professionals in the sector. We will also break into discussion groups to examine future opportunities between the youth services and education sector in Wales using journey mapping and case studies.

​​Presenters include:

• ​Deb Austin – Chair of the SCEIPG
• ​Sian Tomos – Vice Chair of the SCEIPG
• ​Millie Boswell – NYTH / NEST Implementation Lead Welsh Government
• ​Kirsty Williams – Chair of Powys RPB and Vice Chair of Powys Teaching Health Board
• ​Emma Chivers – Youth Work Advisor for the National Academy for Educational Leadership (NAEL)
• ​Mark Isherwood – Director for Leadership Development and Quality Assurance, NAEL
