Youth Leader Training

Safeguarding, Managing Risk & Youth Leader Training (Northamptonshire)

The Safeguarding Module (Module 4 of Youth Leader Training) is being offered as a standalone course for leaders who wish to upskill themselves or refresh their knowledge.

The module aims to enable participants to protect children and young people by raising awareness of Safeguarding & Child Protection issues and to know their responsibilities in this area.

Managing Risk

This training will enable participants to create a safe environment for children and young people and ensure that activities are organised and delivered safely.

The course is open to any registered leader. Participants should complete the Safeguarding and Managing Risk e-learning modules prior to registering for the training.

The above trainings will run at the start of the day.  Youth Leader Training will follow later.

Youth Leader Training will enable participants to deliver the BB mission by equipping them with the skills, knowledge and attitudes to work effectively with children and young people.

The main theme of Youth Leader Training is the building and maintaining of trusting relationships with children and young people. From this basis flow the other aspects of Christian youth work; sharing faith, safe working practices, participation and empowerment and equal opportunities. There are modules covering all these issues within Youth Leader Training.

This course is being organised by Northamptonshire Battalion and is part 1 of the course (part 2 is on 25th April 2026). Both days must be completed to fulfil the training requirements.

Refreshments will be provided, please bring your own lunch as well as a notepad and pen.
