Irish Youth Information Network
As a support to the partnership, Youth Work Ireland hosts the Youth Information Network. Youth Information Workers can find information about this network and its activities here.
Online Chat Service Launched
Four leading Irish youth organisations have today formally launched a new unique online youth chat system called the Digital Youth Information Chat Service. The Youth Information Online chat service is the first of its kind in Ireland. Crosscare, SpunOut, YMCA Ireland and Youth Work Ireland who had long-planned this service have expedited the launch to support young people during COVID-19 lockdown.
The Youth Information online chat service builds on a long-standing partnership of professional Youth Information providers in Ireland and relies on the development of commitment to joined up working on communications, safeguarding, data protection, and youth information practice. The service is staffed by professional Youth Information Workers.
The service will be available to young people from 4pm to 8pm and is aimed at young people aged between 16 and 25. It is impartial, non-judgemental, reliable, and accurate.
