The Challenge of Youth Circular 1516, 27th June 1940 From the Government Board of Education 

Part of the National Youth Bureau series 'twelve documents of historical importance' this paper covers the provision of educational and social facilities for the countryside.

This report details the results of an audit of training needs relating to Local Authority Principal Youth Officers in Wales. It draws on needs identified by Officers themselves and a consideration of the policy context of current services that frames the developmental needs of those services.

Report of conference entitled "A new future for the Youth Service …or a new Youth Service for the future".  Attended by Principal Youth & Community Officers from England and Wales, the event was held in Cardiff hosted by the Wales Youth Agency.

Summary of recommendations from the report of the Review Group on the Youth Service in England.

In July 1961, the Minister set up a working party under the chairmanship of Mr. G. S. Bessey to consider the nature of the training which should be available to part-time youth leaders and assistants, both paid and voluntary, and to advise on the best ways of arranging such training. Their report, published in July 1962, took one stage further the study of the youth leader's job, and suggested a minimum professional skill needed, whether the leader worked full-time or part-time. The report identified a common element in the training required by part-time leaders of youth groups of all kinds, and recommended that local education authorities and local voluntary bodies should jointly organise basic courses incorporating this common element of training.

Bilingual. Survey form of full-time, part-time and voluntary workers in Wales. Through national Ministerial Conferences the Department of Education and Science and Welsh Office are [currently] consulting with the Youth Service about a core curriculum. This is a highly significant exercise which is likely to shape futue policy developments.
