This article presents the main findings of a 'Modest Inquiry' into the state of youth work in the new Children and Young People's Departments. Between October 2008 and January 2009 staff of Leicester De Montfort University visited twelve local authorities interviewing youth work managers, youth workers and young people. In groups they were asked to reflect on what for them made youth work a distinctive practice and how this practice was faring in the current policy environment and as organisational structures changed. Many were most preoccupied with the impact of target-setting and the targeting of particular sections of the youth population. Though in most authorities 'integration' was still at an early stage, useful insights also emerged into how this and partnership-working are affecting youth work and youth workers' professional identity.
