Youth Work - Training 
Authorised Lay Ministry
Do you want to think more deeply about your role and how to understand children and young people and help them develop? Or do you want to know more about how teams work and how you might work with other young people in your local community? As part of the Authorised Lay Ministry training starting in September, Emma Pettifer and I will be training those working with children and young people. Training for particular ministries is available in the form of a one-year course of common and specialist modules. ALM Children's and Youth Worker Training is one of the specialist modules. Please click here to read more about the ALM programme and how to apply to the course.

Child Protection
The safety and well-being of all the children and young people we welcome into our churches and involve in our parish activities is paramount and is the key to "Protecting All God's Children" in the Diocese.
In 2008 a new diocesan policy for child protection entitled ‘Safeguarding Children in the Diocese of Worcester' was published and circulated to all Parish Representatives for Child Protection. To view this document and find out more about training opportunities please see the Children's Work - Child Protection page.
Suits You
The Diocesan Youth Officer is happy to tailor training to the needs of your parish if there is no existing course which covers what you need. For example, if you are doing any of the following:
- Starting youth work from scratch
- Taking young people on a residential for the first time
- Establishing links with your local school
- Setting up some detached work
- Working with young people towards youth worship
do get in touch and ask me questions and I can either point you to the right training or come and work with you as a parish.
Growing Leaders: Youth Edition
The diocese has invested in two packs of the Growing Leaders: Youth Edition material. If you are interested in training young people as leaders, please get in touch.
