The four corner stones of youth work, Education, Empowerment, Participation and Equality of Opportunity underpin our work with young people. These can be delivered in a variety of settings including centred based, detached, mobile provision, schools and residential work.

As Youth Workers EPIC Youth have a commitment to:

	Treat young people with respect
	Respect and promote young peoples rights to make their own decisions and choices.
	Promote and ensure the welfare and safety of young people.
	Contribute towards the promotion of social justice for young people.
	Recognise the boundaries between personal and professional life.
	Recognise the need to be accountable to young people, their parents or guardians.
	Develop and maintain the required skills and competence to do the job.
