Access All Areas was developed by a large group of youth work practitioners across the island of Ireland to be used in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
These experts wrote and edited 11 individual chapters, 10 of which focus on a
particular group of young people who frequently experience exclusion in their lives. The experts opted to gather their expertise in one publication because of their recognition that young people have multiple identities and should not be seen under one identity alone. The National Youth Council of Ireland and Youthnet Northern Ireland coordinated this publication. Access All Areas Toolkit has been designed to be used by trained youth workers, by volunteer youth leaders, by directors and managers of youth services and others working with children and young people. It invites you to look at what support you need – at both leader and organisational level – to make sure that all young people in your community feel they belong and are actively participating in society.
