Ethical issues in youth work
Holgate House, Grey College, Durham University

This conference offers an opportunity to discuss and debate some of the key ethical issues facing youth workers, the young people they work with and managers and policymakers who oversee work with young people. The conference is occasioned by the publication of the 2nd edition of the book, Ethical Issues in Youth Work (Routledge, June 2010). The day will involve national and regional speakers with an interest in youth work in presentations and a panel discussion (Sarah Banks, Durham University; Leon Mexter, Regional Youth Work Unit-NE; Tony Jeffs, Durham University; Heather Stephens, National Youth Agency; Rod Stapley, Newcastle City Council; Susanne Rauprich, National Council for Voluntary Youth Services), followed by afternoon workshops on a variety of themes (from supporting young people as active citizens to surveillance and control).
Ethical issues in youth work conf programme and booking form.
With a line-up of excellent speakers, the conference promises to be an exciting event.
