The Training Squad

The Training Squad are a small group of young people from the Time to Talk Next Steps Programme that work together to design and deliver online workshops for professionals.

Everyone has a super strength to share - some young people get confidence from the one to one support they have had from the their Time to talk Next Steps Supporter. They have great ideas about training that they think professionals need (these can be teachers, health professionals and social workers) to that they support people with additional support needs well.

We always want to hear from young people and help them carry out their ideas.

If you’d like to develop training or presentations for professionals either

• on your own or
• with others

The Training Squad are a small group of young people who work together to design and deliver online workshops for professionals below.

The sessions young people have developed so far are below

• Session 1: You need to start with values

• Session 2: You need to see us as young people first

• Session 3: You need to listen to help us make choices

• Session 4: You need to be curious, to understand

NDTi have developed guidance on paying young people for work if they deliver training on behalf of the programme

Let your Supporter know you’d like to have things you want to say to professionals or that you want to develop training with other people.

Your Supporter will help you to either develop your own training or link you with the Training Squad to deliver training together.
