Training
At YLF, we pride ourselves in delivering practical, high quality and effective training and learning opportunities to those working with vulnerable children.
Training for Professionals
At YLF, we empower professionals to make a real difference in the lives of vulnerable children and young people. Our practical, high-quality training builds skills, confidence, and a deeper understanding of child-centred practice.
With years of frontline experience, we create tailor-made packages that meet the needs of your team. Each session offers simple, effective tools to strengthen everyday work with children and young people.
We’ve trained professionals and volunteers across social care, education, and community services — from social workers to appropriate adults and mentors.
Our training is...
Flexible – delivered in-house or online, to suit your organisation.
Evidence-based – shaped by current legislation, best practice, and our own research.
Child-led – informed by real voices and experiences of young people.
Where appropriate, young people can even take part in the training — bringing authenticity and impact that only lived experience can provide.
Training Packages include:
- Being an Appropriate Adult
- Befriending & Mentoring
- Listening to Children
- The Voice of the Child
- Challenging Stigma
Our expert trainers combine professional insight with a passion for improving outcomes for children. Whatever your role, our training will help you create environments where every child feels heard, respected, and supported.
