I received the following from the National Youth Agency. Feel free to contact them directly if you’re interested!

Dear Colleague,

Opportunities to be involved in education training standards activity

The National Youth Agency is seeking suitably experienced and qualified youth work professionals to get involved in its education training standards (ETS) work through joining professional validation panels. These panels provide peer scrutiny and recommendations to ETS on the professional validation of higher education youth and community work programmes. The role will involve participation on a two-day visit, alongside three colleagues, to a higher education institution seeking validation. The frequency of involvement is flexible.

This opportunity is a voluntary post and validation panel members often find that their involvement brings additional perspectives and learning for their own work. All expenses will be covered. For more information please email Debbie Simms – debbiesi@nya.org.uk
