The learner will also be enabled to develop their skills in being able to link theory into practice in a group setting. Learners will develop their group facilitation skills by co-facilitating either a women's or a children's and young person's CEDAR group, following the nationally-recognised 12-week programme, as well as reflecting on practice and delivery skills.     

This qualification is suitable for a wide range of candidates including:
