Programme leader Kate Just said: "A key aspect of helping young people to fulfil their potential as individuals is to ensure that those who work with young people - whether volunteers, paid, part-time, or full time staff - have the necessary support to do their job.
"Many people working in this sector have invaluable experience.
"However, we find that formalising their knowledge through gaining a qualification contributes hugely to their job performance."
