Finished some work down London way, There was in the the third sector money for youth work.
But the sources for this money were ethically questionable.
The Bagshot Polska was such an example . . .apparently the money paying the project was from some dodgy contract that was beginning to charge the Irish for `changing the water rates` onto a capital style payment . . .somehow profits funded the project...
Management style of the Bagshot Polska had got the guy into lot of issues.Temper came up when we queried further.
Sadly overlooked by OASIS, who allowed him to line manage worker on placement
`tantrum tears`, as MAW, the OASIS student was known , had weakness exploited by Bagshot Polska.
Asking me to` remove` youth worker who had not curried favour with him,
fell on silent ears.
Supported the lady and encouraged the work she commendable was doing.
Stood up against the idea that you could do `detached work` in school environment
Again was seen as unhelpful.
Fortunate for myself others valued and recognised the efforts l was making.
Bagshot Polska had little knowledge nor understanding around youth work.
True that it showed but always found the bracen oppressive style unhelpful.
Relived when year later l was to move into a Northern post that was to last for 8 years.
