The National Youth Agency: The role of health in youth work training

1 min read
The National Youth Agency has commissioned consultant Louise Atkin to develop benchmark statements and training curricula to support the inclusion of health within professionally validated higher education programmes in youth and community work.

As part of this, a survey is being circulated to youth workers, higher education tutors, local authority and voluntary sector trainers, health professionals and youth work employers. It is also available online on The NYA and Atkin Associates websites.

The survey aims to gain the perspectives of a wider group of colleagues within youth and community work and gather a body of evidence that can be used to determine the best way forward to develop a coherent route for youth work staff to become better qualified practitioners in adolescent health at all levels of practice. The information will inform ongoing dialogue with universities on future developments in this area of professional youth work practice.
