Media: Young People Now joins with sister title to widen coverage

 

By Charlotte Goddard - 15/08/07

Young People Now is set to expand its coverage of the youth agenda by merging with sister title Children Now next month.

The merged title, Children & Young People Now, will place youth work in the context of wider work with children and young people by covering social care, health, education and childcare alongside youth work and youth justice. Subscribers to the weekly will also benefit from a free monthly title, Youth Work Now, dedicated to the youth work profession.

Ravi Chandiramani, editor of Young People Now, said the merger aimed to mirror existing developments in local and national policy. "Increasingly youth services are working with other services such as education, health and social care, whether in the context of youth justice, extended schools, or looked-after young people and care leavers," he said.
