Abstract

In this blog post I reflect on a collaborative research project that explored youth workers’ knowledge, skills and attitudes towards digital practice. Youth work in the UK is a profession guided by a distinct national curriculum regulated by the National Youth Agency (NYA), which can be understood through the concept of informal education in which practitioners meet young people where they choose to gather (Corney et al., 2024). As with many forms of education, Covid-19 required a move to digital youth work practice (Vermiere et al., 2019) and further impacted youth provision at a time when the UK had been feeling the pressure of budget constraints due to austerity measures (Reynolds & Charraighe, 2022). As a result, youth work during lockdowns included online engagement, presenting challenges of understanding and building new digital youth work provisions.
