1.1.6 Support individuals in their understanding of risk and challenge

Overview:

What this standard is about

This standard is about developing young people’s understanding and appreciation of risk, and their ability to manage it.  It includes providing opportunities which are challenging, and using these to promote an understanding and ability to manage the associated risks.

Who this standard is for

This standard is recommended for those working with young people and who are involved in activities involving aspects of risk.

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.
