Working with Children & Young People

Whether you're thinking about CPD (continuing professional development) options for your workforce, targeted community development programmes for people returning to work or entering employment for the first time, we can tailor individual sessions or a complete programme to meet the needs of your organisation. We work with local authorities, trusts, charities and community groups to provide training and development opportunities for play and early years practitioners, youth workers, teachers, LSAs (learning support assistants), and anyone who works with or is considering a role where they will be working with children and young people

* Introduction to Playwork
