According to one definition, the principal tasks of youth information and counselling are the provi-sion of information, guidance and counselling to young people. How does this work change when it goes online? Do the approaches and requirements change from meeting face-to-face?

However, the tools and environ-ment do have an impact on the nature of the work and bring to the fore certain special features, such as ethical issues. Over recent years, the tools and channels of web-based youth information and counselling services have become more diverse. In addition to websites, social media also present new opportunities, and they have made available an expanding, diversifying matrix of ser-vices and organis
