Synopsis

This book is full of "hands-on" practice based material which can provide effective tried and tested methods for all those involved with young offenders and young people at risk. These techniques and activities are appropriate for youth workers, members of youth offending teams, community based projects, teachers, indeed, almost anyone working with young people. Effective ways of working with young people at risk and in trouble are in demand at present, at neighbourhood level, as well as more formally through the courts and police final warning referral programmes. Changes in legislation and the development of new multi-agency youth offending teams are providing new contexts in which such work can take place. "Making a Difference" reviews this new context and offers a range of practise based approaches for working more informally with young people in trouble in a variety of settings, many of which can enable more tangible issues of need and aspiration to emerge and be addressed.
