YouthLink Scotland has published guiding principles to support the safe delivery of youth work from 18 April 2022.  

This advice is to support youth work leaders to continue to make local-level risk assessed decisions and actions regarding delivery of face-to-face youth work, within the context of wider public health advice from 18 April 2022. 

From 21 March 2022 the Scottish Government strategic approach to COVID-19 shifted from a focus on legal requirements to suppress the virus, towards recommended approaches to effectively managing and improving our resilience to the COVID-19 virus. 

Youth work leaders should consider this youth work sector advice alongside the Scottish Government’s updated Strategic Framework and associated guidance for colleges, universities and CLD
