I have advised VECs to follow current practice in appointing staff to operate Youthreach projects. I have also advised that the special needs of participants should be borne in mind in selecting staff. I have not laid down any specific requirements with regard to qualifications and experience, except to specify that the educational components of the programme should be provided by qualified teachers.
