Who is it run by: Purple Youth
Who is it for? Professionals working with young people
Highlight: The helpful downloads on careers that involve working with young people and issues that affect them are the best part of this site, but it’s hard to find much else positive to mention. There are a few interesting features, but most of the other information is out of date. In February there was a box discussing “November highlights” and many of the job ads had passed their deadlines. The design is a quite amateurish and could be improved. This site could be a useful resource for youth workers, for whom there is not much out there, but it needs some urgent attention.
The site is easy to navigate but its bland colour scheme and large blocks of unbroken text let it down slightly. A few more photos and subheadings would make its content more digestible
