Around 35 people attended the Gisborne workshop facilitated by John Harrington and Ariana Elley on 26 June.

It was great to have about 15 rangatahi from a local PTE participate and they made an outstanding contribution to the discussions.

Ethical youth work from their perspective included people working with young people “being organised”, “not wearing inappropriate clothing”, “respecting private property and being fair with confiscations”, “not labelling us all youth " young people are individuals”.

Would be great to have a Code which incorporates a child rights perspective - UNCROC rights
These include particpation in decision making
The child/young person as client
Privacy and confidentiality
Sharing inof with other adults/agencies

I think that the idea of the relationship between worker and young person is key and voluntary participation should be at the heart of that
.... from www.infed.org.uk
'Emphasizing voluntary participation and relationship. The voluntary principle,has distinguished youth work from most other services provided for this age group. Young people have, traditionally, been able to freely enter into relationships with workers and to end those relationships when they want. This has fundamental implications for the way in which youth workers operate and the opportunities open to them. It can encourage youth workers to think and work in rather more dialogical ways (op. cit.). It also means that workers either have to develop programmes that attract young people to a youth work agency, or they have to go to the settings where they are. 'Building relationships' has been central both to the rhetoric and practice of much youth work. '
