Trusted Youth Allies Training
About The Programme:
The Trusted Youth Ally (TYA) training is a free, 3-hour online session designed to equip individuals and organisations with the confidence and knowledge to effectively support young people, particularly those affected by crime. This training is essential for anyone who works with or interacts with young people, including youth workers, teachers, social workers, community leaders, and volunteers
- Understand how crime impacts young people and the barriers they face in seeking help.
- Gain practical skills to respond to disclosures with confidence and sensitivity.
- Learn key safeguarding principles to protect young people and themselves.
- Access specialist resources to support young people affected by crime.
- Strengthen their ability to build trust and create a safe environment for young people.
Why Does It Matter?
- 2 in 3 young people do not report crimes they experience – yet they still need support.
- Young people will often turn to a trusted adult rather than an official service – this could be you or someone in your organisation.
- Many professionals and volunteers lack confidence in handling disclosures or know how to provide the right support.
- This training ensures that anyone in contact with young people is prepared to respond appropriately and help them access the support they need.
