In this section we describe seven ‘characters’ who often appear in work with young people, as well as in other types of informal education:
The Ally
The ‘Emotional worker’
The Catalyst
The Mentor
The Advocate
The Facilitator
The Supervisor.
We will first characterise the role each of them plays, and then identify particular issues relating to each role.
