Respect Young People's Programme

What is this training course? 

This 4-day training course is designed to support practitioners from a range of backgrounds to deliver the Respect Young People’s Programme (RYPP), an intervention for families where children or young people aged between 8 and 18 are abusive or violent towards the people close to them, particularly their parents or carers.  

Who is it for? 

This training is for practitioners from a range of professional backgrounds including:

• youth work 
• social work 
• youth offending teams 
• children and family workers
• domestic abuse services 

What will participants learn? 

The training goes through the RYPP programme in detail using a variety of teaching and learning methods, including case studies, group work, skills practice and video work. 

Following this course, participants will have the knowledge and skills required to deliver the RYPP.

The impact of the RYPP 

The impact of the Respect Young People’s Programme goes beyond an individual basis. Whilst its main aim is helping families to repair their relationships, it is also successful in reducing police callouts, and making significant savings for the criminal justice system.  

How is the training delivered? 

The training can be delivered either online or in person by members of Respect's Young People's Service.

How much does the training package cost? 

We offer training as part of a package that includes licensing to deliver the RYPP, and implementation support. We train whole cohorts of up to 16 people, and we also offer training to smaller groups of 4 people as part of a larger group with other areas and organisations from across the country
