This was written by me back in the day .....
I always write/reflect at the end of the day
I have paper notes from 50 years ago containing many experiences -
books if I ever can deliver .............
The above clip was about a 'HAMMER' not in terms of 'work' !
In terms of aggression & violence = survival for many.
Daily decisions have to be made about how to handle incident - humans.
Particularly when it comes to violence.
Just as tough is when dealing with racist verbals & aggression - V I O L E N C E.
As an inner-city Youth Worker we are on the front line.
Dealing daily with incidents, interactions, dialogue, agitation ..........
Whilst in this current climate of knife crime among young urban youths - there are few Youth Workers out on the manor ....... cuts cuts cuts CUTS
I call it neglect.
Tucked away in Parliament or tree lined suburbia there is no understanding of
Informal Education - relational youth work - incarnation on the streets ........
