Principles of the network
Our approach to collaboration and alliances with other organisations – June 2020
The Network of Regional Youth Work Units: England brings together independent organisations working to support the youth sector at regional level in the English regions. At present our members cover 6 of the 9 regions and we aim to recruit relevant organisations to join the network and support youth work in the other 3 regions over the next 1-2 years.
Regional Youth Work Units act as hubs for developing and supporting youth work in their regions, working with commissioners, providers and young people themselves to ensure the sector is well-informed, skilled and responsive to changes in government policies and young people’s needs.
The Network regularly works with organisations with a national (and sometimes international) footprint and role in supporting aspects of the work of the youth sector, in order to inform policy developments, engage parts of the youth sector who may otherwise not be able to access national initiatives and knowledge, and provide regional intelligence to national organisations while informing organisations in the region of national developments that could affect their practice and environment. This role is recognised and valued by national organisations and government bodies, and has resulted in positive outcomes for youth work, youth workers and young people.

About the Event
Session three will consider the role of the practitioner themselves and how we build ethical relationships when supporting young people’s political and civic engagement. The session will focus on what those working with young people can do themselves to ensure their work with young people is ethical and safe practice.
Issues to explore include:
· How does who we are and our values affect how we work with young people?
· How do we practically facilitate and manage conversations on contentious issues?
· What works to enable young people to explore their views and take action?
· How do we overcome some of the issues and challenges which can stop good work with young people?
