Well we have had a various reponse to the thread,some interesting views have been stated.I had hoped that some of the members involved in Youth Work would have responded;after all they are at the sharp end!
Just as a matter of interest the BBC will shortly be broadcasting a programme,that shows that Accrington doesn't yet have the monoply on Youth problems.
