European policy developments

There are not many European policies that focus on recognition, in fact none of the following are specifically about recognition but recognition is a key feature to them.

It is important to understand the impact that policy has on youth work and its ongoing recognition. It is hoped that the policy documents included in this section will help you the reader to understand the developments in policy that have supported recognition over the years.
