The curriculum, which acts as a national framework for youth work in England, aims to enable a greater understanding of youth work practice, provide an educational framework and act as a reference tool to be used by decision makers, policy makers, commissioners, youth workers and young people.

The document supplements a formal validated training for youth workers, and can also be used to identify practice needs and to up-skill the many volunteers who are part of the youth workforce
