Over the last few years alcohol consumption has decreased slightly among young people. Among those young people who consume alcohol, some are consuming increasing amounts, particularly 11 to 13-year-olds. There are a range of harms associated with alcohol use among young people, including those related to their physical, emotional and social wellbeing. Of particular concern with regard to longer-term harms are those young people who, by 16 years of age, are binge drinking or drinking so that they experience being very drunk. C4EO’s interactive data site enables local authority managers to evaluate their current position in relation to a range of key national indicators and to easily access publicly available comparative data on young people’s alcohol consumption.

In the UK, youth support workers are employed in a range of settings such as learning mentors, teaching assistants, youth workers and personal advisors. A key outcome for youth support workers working with young people is increased self-awareness and autonomy, and engagement in interventions with youth support workers can enable this process to take place. However, a valuable alternative approach to the work exists, which focuses on helping young people to enhance their personal learning and development (PLD) in a group interaction. This article explores how youth support professionals can facilitate PLD effectively in a group context. It focuses on identifying what personal learning and development means through the examination of how groupwork can enable young people to learn about themselves, develop greater self-awareness and make decisions about their lives. The article evaluates ways in which being part of a group can lead to positive outcomes for individuals, before analysing the role of the youth support worker in facilitating PLD in the group context. In addition, the article offers a model to inform the planning, preparation and delivery of PLD with young people.

Drawing on a three-year study involving interviews with 80 children and young people about their experiences, this book aims to provide support and practical solutions for the experience of hearing voices. It is in 2 parts. The first section is intended for voice-hearing children and looks at what voice hearing is and learning to deal with it, covering what influence the voices have, what triggers voices, voices and emotions, and explanations for voice hearing. It also presents the stories of 8 children hearing voices. The second section is intended for parents and adult carers, and covers the history of hearing voices, theoretical explanations in mental health care, non-medical explanations, the role of psychiatric treatment, research interviewing children and adolescents hearing voices, children hearing voices and trauma, advice for parents, and parents' experiences.

Young people with communication difficulties can find it difficult to interpret and respond to other people in social situations. This book uses illustrations of different people in different places, all accompanied by a series of questions designed to encourage prediction and inference skills. Questions can include who the people are, what they are doing, and how they might be feeling and why. Questions can either be completed individually or brainstormed as a group. The book is fully photocopiable so can be used with many groups. A practical tool for anyone helping young people with communication difficulties to understand and connect to the world around them.

To date, most studies involving young people in working alliances deal with voluntary psychotherapy, rather than involuntary authoritarian settings. To correct this, this paper reviews English and French language literature published in the last 20 years on working alliance in young people’s involuntarily enrolled in intervention programmes. The article first discusses Bordin's (1994) adaptation of the concept of working alliance to young people. It then presents an analysis of the main results of previous empirical studies on helping relationships in involuntary settings. Finally, the results of these studies are used as the basis for a multidimensional model of working alliance in young people in authoritarian settings. The article suggests that differences in intervention context are essential to the understanding of the establishment of an effective working alliance in young people. The authors conclude that a patient/therapist vision of working alliance does not appear to significantly advance the theory of clinical practice.

The limitations of the study, including the lack of evidence and the reliance on self report data, are discussed.
Generational conflict, consumption and the ageing welfare state in the United Kingdom

In the UK, the welfare state is now over 60 years old. Those born into, grown up with, and now growing old within its influence are a unique group. These people benefit from healthier childhoods and better education than previous generations. Whilst it is accepted that they have done well under the welfare state, some critics have argued that these advantages are at the expense of younger cohorts. The very success of this welfare generation is perceived as undermining the future viability of the welfare state, and some argue that the current levels of income and wealth enjoyed by older cohorts can only be sustained by cutbacks in entitlements for younger cohorts. This will lead to a growing ‘generational fracture’ over welfare policy. This article challenges this position, and argues that both younger and older groups find themselves working out their circumstances in conditions determined more by the contingencies of the market than by social policy.
