Policy Convention Youth Work is Human Rights Work Recommendations

This year’s Policy Convention (08/12/22), Youth Work is Human Rights Work, came as the youth work sector continues to advocate for social policy changes affecting children and young people.

Almost 200 delegates participated in YouthLink Scotland’s first National Policy Convention on a Right to Youth Work in 2021. This followed years of smaller policy seminars featured around themed areas of policy. It is the culmination of these themes and the notable desire from youth workers and policy professionals who attend these meetings which led to the policy planning group and the decision to scale up the policy seminars into the large-scale event we now hope will be an inaugural presence on any youth worker and policy professional annual calendar.

Thank you to all attendees from across the youth work sector and beyond for being part of such an informative and enthusiastic policy convention.
