Why Join?

By completing the Level 3 qualification you will:

• Gain a nationally-recognised RSPH qualification.
• Develop a deeper understanding of the causes of violence and evidence-based prevention approaches.
• Learn how to support and empower young people to improve health and wellbeing within their communities.
• Be eligible to progress onto an exclusive 'Train the Trainer' programme, where you’ll gain the knowledge and skills required to deliver the RSPH Level 2 Violence Prevention Youth Health Champions Programme, with ongoing support from We Do Wellbeing.

Our Programme Coordinator, Kirsty Barr, said: “I’m really excited to be involved in launching this fully funded qualification with a pathway aligned to equipping practitioners with the skills and knowledge to effectively deliver the RSPH’s Level 2 ‘Youth Health Champions’ programme.

“As a former teacher and NEET tutor, I’ve seen first-hand how important it is that practitioners feel confident delivering education around sensitive topics like violence prevention. Good intentions alone aren’t enough - we need the right knowledge, skills and approach. 

"That’s why I’m so passionate about this programme. It combines three key elements: knowledge, skills, and most importantly, engagement and youth voice, ensuring young people remain at the heart of effective prevention work. It’s a fantastic opportunity to gain a nationally-recognised qualification.”

Inspiring the Future Generation

Those who successfully complete both the Level 3 qualification and the Train the Trainer programme will have the opportunity to deliver the Level 2 Violence Prevention Youth Health Champions qualification to a cohort of up to 20 young people, in partnership with We Do Wellbeing.

Funding is already secured for three Level 2 cohorts to be delivered before March 2027, creating an exciting opportunity to make a lasting impact on young people and communities.
