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.

Day 1 – Saturday 31st October 2026

Day 2 – Saturday 13th March 2027

Attendance at both days is necessary to complete the course.

Just before your course, it would be useful if you could repeat your managing risk e-learning training. To do this you will need to login to OBM (http://obm.boys-brigade.org.uk), click on my membership on the bottom left, then click on my e-learning, and then repeat the managing risk module.

During the course you will also need to access an electronic copy of the BB Safety Handbook https://boys-brigade.org.uk/downloads/safetyhandbook.pdf , as well as access to the BB website. It is highly recommended to bring an electronic device to access these documents (either online or saved to access).

Also hyperlinked is an electronic copy of the BB risk assessment https://boys-brigade.org.uk/downloads/riskassessmenttemplate.pdf or https://boys-brigade.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Managing-Risk-Risk-Assessment-template.docx which will be used for some of the activities during the course.
