The aim of this unit is to provide learners with an understanding of leadership and management within a Youth Work setting, whether within the Local Authority, a Commissioned Service or a charitable organisation. The unit will look at how Youth Work leaders and managers can respond meaningfully to the changing dynamic within the sector, the tensions that arise when seeking to apply Youth Work principles and approaches in a multi-disciplinary service setting. It will look at how managers identify the strategic and management tools required to manage both staff and partners and requires students to demonstrate personal preferences in management style and leadership approaches.
