The Children’s and Youth Work Advisory Team in the
Diocese of York is here to help you with your work among young people.
Our aim is to:
Support, encourage and advise the parishes of the diocese
Provide information about a wide variety of resources, events and materials
Keep you informed about the latest good practice guidelines, safeguarding children and current legislation
Offer a wide range of opportunities for training
Provide avenues for young people to be involved in the whole life of the Church
The Diocese has a 'Commitment' to children and young people. It is intended to be a source of encouragement (in what is already happening), inspiration (to new ideas and possibilities) and perhaps challenge (to things that should change). Every parish is expected to adopt this Commitment as part of the overall diocesan strategic policy of helping young people to become "Fully alive in God."
You will find a variety of news, events and resources contained within these pages, and links to a wide range of children's work and youth work web sites. If you need any specific help or training needs, please contact either Jon or Nigel. (See Team pages). We also have a site about XL-Children and XLS events and now young people can also contact us with their ideas, comments and suggestions. Encourage your groups to use it!
If you can't find what you are looking for, please do not hesitate to contact any of the team.
