This training is kindly offered through Somerset Youth Alliance
Are you looking to build your confidence and skills when working with children and young people?
Somerset Youth Alliance is pleased to offer two Bespoke Youth Work Principles training opportunities this autumn.
These sessions are designed for NHS staff, teachers, police, decision-makers, and professionals working with children and young people.
Whether you're looking for a concise introduction or a more in-depth learning experience, both courses provide practical knowledge and tools to help you embed youth work approaches into your professional practice.
These courses are an excellent opportunity to develop your professional practice, connect with colleagues from a range of sectors, and gain practical skills that can make a real difference to the young people you support.
We encourage early booking as places are limited.
