Overview:

What this standard is about

This standard is about working with young people to explore ethical, moral and cultural values, addressing the need to respect the beliefs and values of others.  It includes exploring where young people are on their journeys through life and encouraging them to see themselves in terms of their relationships with others and the environment around them.

Who this standard is for

This standard is for those involved in working with young people to explore their ethical, moral and cultural values.  It includes exploring the differences between spirituality, faith and religion.

Values and principles

Working with representatives of the sectors within youth work, LLUK has agreed a suite of values and principles which distinguish youth work from other, sometimes related, activities involving young people.  These values and principles are at the core of the work undertaken within youth work and underpin this standard.  The behaviours required within this standard include those which reflect particular values and principles.
