Abstract
This volume seeks to create sparks of re-imagining in its readers to advance and to challenge the status quo. It synthesizes historical, contemporary and comparative material highlighted by each of the contributors to this book in order to present radical alternative ways of thinking about policy and practice, and ways of working towards meeting young people’s needs. More specifically, these alternatives will incorporate the most beneficial elements from each of the preceding discussions, including possibilities for democratizing ways of working with young people. We aim to develop an overarching reframing of how we think about working with young people considered disconnected in England in more humanistic ways. Whilst the focus is largely England, we believe this reframing has the potential to transfer more broadly to other cultural contexts.
