HMI, Ofsted reports:

"Our National Survey of statutory youth work revealed that ‘group work skills’ was the area that we need to invest in most, as this was
nationally highlighted as an area of work that could be
significantly improved.”

This course aims to bridge that gap in the voluntary and statutory Youth Work sector by teaching practical, useful skills for basic group work. It is useful to those who are new to working with young people as well as expereinced youth workers who are looking for more ideas and structure to expand their group work skills.

It is also suitable for those who want to become more skilled and confident when working with groups, and helping groups hold discussions or reach decisions.

What will I learn?

• The skills and confidence to carry out group work sessions
• Understanding of basic group work theory and how this practically applies to situations
• Practical tools for how to plan with a group in a participatory way and for holding successful discussions.
• The confidenceand aptitude to be able to use creative methods to adapt and tailor sessions to different groups and topics

How will I be assessed?
