Abstract

In this second article from our Mass Observation study and Citizen Enquiry into Youth Work in the time of Covid, we report from the diaries contributed by youth workers during July and August, which were collected immediately prior to the crisis over the public examination results. There were 34 diary entries submitted for July and August from youth workers in all four jurisdictions of the United Kingdom. The Citizen Researcher team followed the same process of analysis as described in the previous report published in Youth and Policy, reading and discussing themes emerging in the diaries. In this second article, there is a tangible sense of difference from the earlier months as youth workers engage with a return to face-to-face work which brings both great delight for many, combined with some anxiety and fearfulness, alongside complex management of Covid-safe processes
