Who the course is for:

Anyone currently involved in participation work with children and young people, who is interested in finding out more about how to involve so called, ‘Hard to Reach’, children and young people.

Aim of the course:

To equip participants with an understanding of why some children and young people might not make use of the services, organisations and activities that are on offer to them and practical ideas for enabling those individuals to get involved.

Information about the course:

This new, innovative one-day training course is based on the popular resource ‘How to Involve ‘Hard to Reach’ Children and Young People’.

‘Hard to reach’ children and young people are those not engaged with, or are disengaged from, the usual range of education or other services and participatory activities that are designed for them. ‘Hard to reach’ can also mean the ‘underserved’, in other words, those for whom there are no services available or for whom the current services present a significant barrier to access.

Gain an understanding of what ‘hard to reach’ means for children and young people and organisations
Identify barriers that prevent ‘hard to reach’ children and young people from engaging
Identify methods for enabling those children and young people not engaged to use services available to them
