ADVERTISEMENT FEATURE: Professional qualifications for youth justice workers from The Open University

2 mins read Youth Justice
Youth justice is a challenging and fast-changing field. It is about turning around the lives of vulnerable children who are often very hard to reach. A wide range of approaches and strategies are needed - requiring highly-skilled professionals who can handle demanding work and keep abreast of emerging policy and practice.

The Open University's Foundation Degree in Youth Justice has been developed in collaboration with the Youth Justice Board for England and Wales as part of its Youth Justice National Qualifications Framework (NQF) which enables youth justice workers to gain professional qualifications that reflect their roles and support their career aspirations. The YJB also publishes the Key Elements of Effective Practice.

The Open University offers three qualifications developed with the YJB - the Foundation Degree in Youth Justice (England and Wales) and the Professional Certificate in Effective Practice (Youth Justice), which has been identified by the YJB as the core professional qualification in youth justice, and the BA (Hons) Youth Justice Studies (England and Wales).
