Work Matters: Update - Busking It

Common Threads has published two new books in its Buskers Guide series, written in a lighthearted style with cartoons, that provide practical theory for those working in play.

The Buskers Guide to Participation by Philip Waters challenges the values and reasons for undertaking participation with young people. It encourages a shift away from 'doing' participation to seeing participation as a way of 'being', with practical suggestions.

The Big Buskers Guide to Leadership by Shelly Newstead is the first in the series to be written specifically for managers and those working in leadership roles. It looks at their role providing first-rate services for children and focuses on goals and communication.
