I have gone down the facebook road…See More

Thanks for that; your youthworktoolbox website looks useful, particularly the podcasts.

Tony Brown replied to Mildred Talabi's discussion Email marketing - how do you do yours?"Hi Mildred.
I currently use Awebber for my email campaigns.
It's a paid service, but after my research, it seemed to be the best option for me.

Using Creative Assessment Tools for Practitioners at Attlee Youth & Community Centre, London E1
April 11, 2013 from 9:30am to 4:30pm

Only too often assessment can become something that is ‘done’ to young people (or a form that needs to be filled in), rather than a dynamic process that puts them at the centre, something theyare involved with and have some ownership over.
