      Examples include: using photography for storytelling with young refugees, gaming groups for young people facing isolation, young people championing their rights in the digital age

    • National Youth Work Induction Checklist File

      Produced by YouthLink Scotland’s Youth Work Training Forum, this checklist should ensure inductions give a good sense of the values, principles, approaches and skills needed to deliver youth work as well as key practical considerations. These topics help practitioners to meet the National Occupational Standards for Youth Work and the competencies for Community Learning and Development (CLD).

      The purpose is to have a minimum induction standard across Scotland so that staff and volunteers can expect the same level of induction training wherever they practice and so that induction is transferable across organisations and locations. This recognises training that practitioners have already participated in, the time commitment they have given and the quality of induction provision across the youth work sector.
