Between 2009-2011 CWVYS was commissioned by the Welsh Government to facilitate the research and publishing of Youth Work Methodology Handbooks or best practice guides for youth workers in Wales. CWVYS facilitated this work by bringing together voluntary youth organisations and maintained local authority youth services. This document is part of a library of Good Practice Methodology Handbooks for Youth Work in Wales. 

This handbook is an introduction to ESDGC, and is not intended to be comprehensive. There are already lots of brilliant ESDGC resources, and this handbook will direct you to them where appropriate. This guide does not aim to replace these resources, or duplicate them. Rather, it draws on the expertise of others and attempts to bring together the range of resources and opportunities available, to provide a starting point for youth workers seeking to incorporate ESDGC into their work.

The nature of youth information work varies greatly depending on many different variables such as area, demography and age range. This handbook contains advice, guidance and suggestions for delivering good quality youth information work. It is not meant to be a definitive set of instructions because of those different variables. These considerations have been taken into account so that it caters for the delivery of a wide range of information work across the whole spectrum of Youth Work. This includes it being useable by a voluntary worker in a community hall for two hours a week to a full time professional seeking to establish a youth information service.
