This free Open University course explores different approaches in developing relationships and working practices which can inform work with young people. These relationships can offer the young people new perspectives on approaching, developing and managing quality relationships of their own.
By the end of the course, learners should be able to:
- Identify the importance of developing positive professional relationships with young people.
- Recognise the qualities and attitudes which support the development of professional and helping relationships.
- Describe what a 'good' professional relationship is, and some ways to develop them.
- Demonstrate awareness that ending relationships positively is as important as planning to develop relationships.
The course requires 8 hours of study to complete.
