Sadly YPN mag' don't make their articles available online but if you have today's copy (12-18 Oct) then p17 is worth a look. Three practicioners from the Faith sector get to comment on the Green Paper, "Youth matters!" JBB, Dave Wiles and Andy Poole do a GREAT job of positively critiquing the documents and produce a helpful challenge to the government.
Also encouraging though is the introduction by the magazine, which reads:
"There is no disputing the fact that the christian youth sector is highly valuable. Not only does it employ about 6,500 youth workers but it works with an estimated 1 million young people a week and invests £100 million in cash or kind, according to Churches together in England"
This will get the article:

Christian youth work barely received a mention in the youth green paper http://www.ypnmagazine.com/news/index.cfm?fuseaction=full_news&ID=8496
