Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book provides a much needed fresh and radical perspective of the professional role, identifying novel and innovative interpretations of and trajectories for practice. Breaking away from ideas mostly framed by academics and/or those with relatively limited practice focus, with contributions from a diverse group of ‘chalk face’ workers as well as references to authentic practice situations, Belton reorients youth work to respond to the actual experience of young people and those working for their interests and growth.
