The Children, Young People and Families Practitioner Level 4 apprenticeship develops the knowledge, skills and behaviours required to work effectively with children, young people and families in diverse settings. Learners build capability in assessing complex needs, planning and delivering support interventions and applying professional judgement in risk-informed contexts.
