Exploring the extent of children and young people’s voluntary sector
14th July 2008, 3:40 pm
Pioneering research, mapping the size and scope of the children and young people’s voluntary and community sector carried out for umbrella bodies NCVCCO and NCVYS, reckons that one in three of the total voluntary sector workforce is employed in this area. However, the limitations of the data available is also highlighted, particularly with regard to smaller organisations.
The research, by a team from University of Hull, is part of Speaking Out, a partnership between the National Council of Voluntary Child Care Organisations and the National Council for Voluntary Youth Services.
