Children, Young People and Families Practitioner Apprenticeship

This level 4 apprenticeship will train you to work with children, young people and families, including carers, to achieve positive and sustainable change in their lives.

This level 4 apprenticeship is equivalent to the first year of a bachelors degree. You need to be working with children, young people and families in a community setting e.g. in family homes, schools, nurseries, youth centres, or youth justice.

Through the apprenticeship, you will become skilled in recognising and assessing the complex needs that children, young people and families often present. You will be able to make specific interventions or referrals and agree these with the child, young person or family. You will learn to approach your work with respectful curiosity, challenging and supporting children, young people and families to achieve their potential and stay safe.

You will learn to work alongside other professionals and organisations to share the responsibility for improving outcomes. Each piece of work with a child or family will be different and you will need to use your judgement, deciding which evidence-based approach is best each time.

You will regularly evaluate the effectiveness of your methods and actions and will have frequent supervisions with an experienced practitioner to help you do this. At the end of the apprenticeship, the high quality of your practice will be making a real difference to those that you work with.
