This revised third edition has been updated throughout and provides new chapters on the concept of youth for youth work, the theories of informal and social education and critical pedagogy. It also contains up-to-date analysis of the policy climate, including the development of the National Youth Work Curriculum in England, a critique of measurability and how this undermines a process-based approach as well as the curriculum developments in Finland and Sweden.This textbook is essential reading for students of youth and community work, as well as practising youth workers, youth work managers, policy makers and anyone who wants to understand the process of youth work.

"This timely, updated third edition adds significantly to the contemporary discussions on youth work theory and practice. It is ‘must-read’ for youth work practitioners and policy makers."Dr Mark Hammond, Community Youth Work Lead, Ulster University, Belfast"This outstanding new edition offers a rigorous and timely exploration of youth work as curriculum, thoughtfully bridging theory, process and practice. With its critical engagement with policy, power and the complexities of outcomes, it provides an essential resource for scholars, practitioners and students seeking to understand and defend the distinctiveness of youth work."Prof Sinéad Gormally, Professor of Community Development and Youth, University of Glasgow“This timely new edition arrives at a pivotal moment for youth work. As the sector moves beyond the constraints of austerity and confronts new opportunities for investment, renewal and reimagining, Ord offers a rigorous and compelling examination of the ideas, values and practices that define the profession. Challenging simplistic approaches to outcomes, impact and measurement while reaffirming youth work's educational and democratic contribution, he demonstrates how youth work is continually negotiated, recreated and emergent in response to the changing realities of young people's lives. This is an important resource for practitioners, including those leading and managing youth & community work, as well as academics, activists and policy makers.”Dr Christine Smith, Programme Director BA Hons Education Studies (Youth Work Pathway), University of Hull
