The SEG Awards Level 3 Technical Occupational Entry in Youth Support Work (Diploma) has been developed to replace the current regulated SEG Awards Level 3 Diploma in Youth Work Practice. This redevelopment has been led by the National Youth Agency in consultation with Awarding Organisations and with industry experts. This qualification contains units which provide opportunities for learners to develop the underpinning knowledge and work skills required to competently carry out the role of Assistant Youth Support Worker at Level 2 and Youth Support Worker at Level 3, whether in paid employment or in the voluntary sector.

This qualification aims to provide practitioners with a qualification that embraces National Occupational Standards for Youth Work and their mandatory competencies containing knowledge requirements and levels of skill.

There are 9 mandatory units within this qualification to ensure learners are well equipped to progress onto further training opportunities or work in a variety of settings.

The key areas covered in this qualification include:

Principles of Youth Work
Safeguarding in a Youth Work Setting
Young People’s Development
Engaging and Communicating with Young People
Group Work in a Youth Work Setting
Working with Behaviour that Challenges in a Youth Work Setting
Reflective Practice in a Youth Work Setting
Anti-Discriminatory Practice in a Youth Work Setting
Work-based Practice in Youth Work

For those studying the SEG Awards Level 3 Technical Occupational Entry in Youth Support Work (Diploma) there is a requirement that across the programme learners must undertake 80 hours of work experience in a Youth Work environment (paid or unpaid) throughout their learning journey. Learners must have access to a real work environment for most of the units.
