#Education Needs Youth Work

“Alongside schools, youth work improves the wellbeing, readiness to learn and educational outcomes of children and young people.”   PEF National Guidance, Scottish Government                

Next week (1st-5th December), YouthLink Scotland’s #EducationNeedsYouthWork campaign will spotlight the role of youth work in:

• Nurturing health and wellbeing
• Tackling the poverty-related attainment gap
• Enabling learner engagement – in communities and in primary school and secondary school settings
• Supporting employability

Please join the campaign by posting examples and evidence from your local practice that demonstrate the impact that youth work can have in building skills, improving young people’s experiences and outcomes in education.

Use the #EducationNeedsYouthWork hashtag and tag YouthLink Scotland and we will share more widely across our social media channels.

Thank you!
