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.
