The Violence Prevention Youth Health Champions Programme is a workforce development and community prevention initiative designed to strengthen violence prevention knowledge, leadership and peer-led health improvement across the Humber region. The programme combines practitioner upskilling, trainer development and youth engagement to create a sustainable model for delivering violence prevention education within communities. The programme has three connected components: 1. Level 3 Award in Violence Prevention and Reduction (VPR) for Operational Leads 2. Train the Trainer Programme 3. Delivery of the Level 2 Violence Prevention Youth Health Champions qualification Together, these elements develop practitioner expertise, build local capacity and empower young people to act as advocates for violence prevention. The intervention follows a structured, nationally recognised curriculum delivered through the Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH) accredited qualifications. The qualification equips participants with the knowledge and confidence to identify risk factors, implement preventative approaches and support teams in responding effectively to incidents of violence. Following completion of the Level 3 training, practitioners participate in a one-day Train the Trainer programme. This equips them to deliver the Level 2 Youth Health Champions qualification within their organisations and communities. The session focuses on: • Effective facilitation techniques • Safeguarding and trauma-informed delivery • Managing group dynamics and inclusive learning • Assessment and quality assurance processes • Adapting training for different youth settings This approach builds sustainable local capacity and ensures the programme can be delivered across multiple organisations. Level 2 Violence Prevention Youth Health Champions Qualification: Trained practitioners then deliver the Level 2 Youth Health Champions programme to young people aged 16-25, supported by We Do Wellbeing as the registered Qualification centre, with the RSPH The course consists of 12 guided learning hours (20 hours total qualification time) delivered through interactive sessions covering: • Understanding the causes and drivers of violence • Risk and protective factors affecting young people • Public health approaches to violence prevention • Identifying community resources and support services • Developing and delivering peer-led health messages Participants complete the course by designing and presenting a violence prevention awareness campaign aimed at their peers.
