Youth Work Training in Berkshire
Our training department provides a range of opportunities for those working in youth work. We aim to continually review and improve the quality of provision and safe practice in our member clubs, by encouraging volunteers to attend our regular training events.
In addition, we provide a range of training opportunities for young people as part of our preventative and intervention services. The focus is to prepare young people for employment by encouraging them to remain in education and training (where appropriate).
We also provide training to targeted groups of higher risk young people, developing their life skills and a sense of community and, as a result, enabling them to make a positive contribution and achieve economic well-being.
The learning opportunities at BACYP can be provided in-house or externally. The course lengths vary from short to long and can be distance learning or may require a portfolio of evidence. Either way, we are here to support the development of youth clubs, leaders and young people. BACYP is always able to respond to individual and groups - given the right amount of notice.
The training department at BACYP has ongoing courses that support the club leaders. These include; Safe guarding Young People, Managing Risk, Equal Opportunities and, of course, the popular pre-driver training programme – Motorwise.
We also offer accreditation of young people’s achievements through the UK Youth Achievement Awards, the Clubs for Young People Keystone Awards and the Millennium Awards.
