If you're thinking about working with children or already do, there's a lot you need to know about legal requirements, safety, and qualifications. WorkingWithKids covers all aspects of the job, from the paperwork side through to games and activities you can actually use.

We explain things like CRB checks, adult-to-child ratios, first aid qualifications, and what temperament you need for the job. You'll find details on different careers like teaching and childminding, plus information on voluntary work with scouts, youth groups, drama clubs and more.

We also have a questionnaire to help you work out if this is the right path for you. If you've got questions or want to share your experiences, get in touch.

We really want to help spread the word and if you can help by linking to Working with Kids, we truly appreciate it.
