The National Youth Agency is working with the Department of Health to develop a framework and standards for including health within the professional training of youth workers.
There will be two workshops and an online consultation to gain views on what these should include. The workshops will be held at The NYA in Leicester on Tuesday 2 December - one between 10.30am and 12.30pm and one between 1.30pm and 3.30pm. If you would like to take part in either workshop, please contact Louise Atkin at atkinassociates@btinternet.com or phone 01746 764080. The NYA particularly wants to hear from those who have recently undergone training, are currently training or from youth workers whose role includes work on health with young people. We also want to hear from those who teach and train youth workers; from employers and health colleagues who work with youth workers.
