The apprentice will also give guidance to other members of the team to enhance their skills, knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours. They will inform and improve practice by acting on research and new developments into how the needs of children, young people and families are best met.
This apprenticeship programme includes learning about the knowledge, behaviour, and skills required for managing an organisation and teams who care for children, young people and their families. The apprentice will demonstrate team building, resource management and taking the lead on new approaches to working practices that will improve and put a child, young person or family at the centre of practice.
Some of the core competencies the apprentice will learn include: understanding the principles of long-term care and support for children and young people, understanding theoretical approaches to the practice and principles of effective multi-agency working, and understanding the national systems of social welfare.
A Level 5 Diploma will also be completed as part of the apprenticeship as follows:

- Pathway 2 - Children, Young People and Families Manager within the Community: For those working in voluntary/community organisations who offer a specific working context (e.g. youth club, family support, special educational needs) to children, young people, and their families.

Over the 2 year course the apprentice will be mentored by a fully qualified assessor who will support the apprentice to build a portfolio of evidence through attending workshops, writing essays to meet knowledge requirements, gathering of evidence through observation of practice, witness statements, reflection on own practice, professional discussions and using work products.
At the end of the qualification the apprentice will need to undertake and complete an end point assessment which consists of:

Test will highlight their competence in the application of the
