Youth Justice Worker Level 4 Qualification

The Authority has awarded a contract for the provision of a Level 4 Youth Justice Worker Qualification. The provider will deliver a high-quality, accredited qualification grounded in the principles of trauma-informed practice for up to 500 learners. This will involve understanding of the needs and experiences of children in custodial environments, and be responsive to staffing structures, roles, and capability needs within Youth Justice settings and the custodial environment specifically. The Contract length is six years and three months of accredited vocational training in trauma informed practice in Youth Justice, including both theory and effective practice to all frontline officers in the YCS in order to support the specialisation of the workforce. The course is the equivalent to a Level 4 qualification and the course length will not exceed 12 months. The programme will be accessible across all three YOI sites in England (Yorkshire, Midlands and London).
