This essential, step-by-step guide is ideal for anyone involved in planning, preparing and delivering group work to young people.

It explains what is meant by ‘Personal Learning and Development’ (PLD) group work and guides the reader through the process from identifying a focus and setting session objectives, to planning activities and evaluating the session outcomes.

This book offers practical advice on all aspects of group work with young people. Topics covered include:

• Learning theory
• The impact of group dynamics

This book aims to improve the confidence of those working with young people and ensure that the ‘group experience’ is a positive one for both the practitioner and the group of young people.
