Accreditation

Young people can also get national accreditation when they lead change and make a difference.

The Youth Leadership Team at the NYA has just piloted new National Open College Network (NOCN) units.

The units are at Level 1, 2 and 3 and are simple to use. You will need to register young people with a local centre and liaise with them to gain the accreditation.

Leadership Framework

Partner organisations have been meeting together to draw up a Leadership Framework. The framework draws up a common language to describe leadership opportunities. There are also accompanying activities which make up a toolkit to help young people to assess their leadership skills and contributions and for organisations to check out how young people are involved in leading within their work.
