In this second phase, we will select six contrasting youth work services from those who completed our <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.manchester.ac.uk\/health-and-youth-work\/project-timeline\/\">mapping survey<\/a>, to investigate in depth.\r\n\r\nWe had roughly<strong> 70 sites<\/strong> who were interested in taking part, so our six potential case study sites were identified using a taxonomy produced from the <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.manchester.ac.uk\/health-and-youth-work\/2025\/03\/21\/is-your-service-represented-on-our-map\/\">youth work mapping survey results<\/a>. For example, results from the survey indicated we needed to think carefully about the size of the youth work service, how it was funded and where it was geographically located (e.g., in a town, a city or in a more rural area).\r\n\r\nSo far we have successfully recruited five of the six youth work services which means the taxonomy produced by our survey will be represented in the diverse characteristics of our chosen case study sites. We are currently recruiting our final site - so watch this space !\r\n\r\nMore to come in the next few weeks...\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-1650\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.manchester.ac.uk\/health-and-youth-work\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/466\/2025\/09\/recruiting-our.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"848\" height=\"788\" \/>\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n\r\n\u00a0","_et_gb_content_width":"","_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1649","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-uncategorised"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.manchester.ac.uk\/health-and-youth-work\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1649","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.manchester.ac.uk\/health-and-youth-work\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.manchester.ac.uk\/health-and-youth-work\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.manchester.ac.uk\/health-and-youth-work\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7973"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.manchester.ac.uk\/health-and-youth-work\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1649"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/sites.manchester.ac.uk\/health-and-youth-work\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1649\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1682,"href":"https:\/\/sites.manchester.ac.uk\/health-and-youth-work\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1649\/revisions\/1682"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.manchester.ac.uk\/health-and-youth-work\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1652"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.manchester.ac.uk\/health-and-youth-work\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1649"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.manchester.ac.uk\/health-and-youth-work\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1649"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.manchester.ac.uk\/health-and-youth-work\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1649"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
