TO RUN between AUTUMN 2025 – June 2026

We are seeking youth organisation partners to work with us/OR partners that would like to refer young people to us age 16 – 25 who are interested in completing the King’s Nursing Cadets.

This scheme is well established in Wales – a youth partner can work with us to deliver it themselves (with us providing teaching time) – usually of cohorts around 16 young people

OR – we are exploring where the RCN deliver this virtually where there are pockets of young people that are smaller than a standard cohort.

We are particularly looking for young people in the Powys, Hywel Dda and Swansea area interested in Nursing or roles in health care.

The programme is around 40 hours of taught content and 20 hours work experience. – RCN King’s Nursing Cadets | Professional Development | Royal College of Nursing

OFFER from early 2026

We are seeking youth organisations that would like to trial our free materials in 2026 to deliver to Key stage 1, 2, 3 and age 16+

These are being developed as we speak and will like “digital course in a box”. Materials will geared to introduce nursing as a career as well as the wider roles of health and social care.

Datganiad Ysgrifenedig: Ymgynghoriad ar Orchymyn Drafft Eithriadau Gwarchod Plant a Gofal Dydd (Cymru) 2026 a’r Cynnig ar gyfer Cynllun Cymeradwyo Gwirfoddol ar gyfer Darparwyr Gofal Plant, Gwaith Chwarae a Gweithgareddau

The Welsh Government has been working on this issue for some time now and CWVYS has been part of the ongoing discussions; as we have regularly reported upon at Regional Group, and Workforce Development Group, meetings.

The CWVYS position is that youth work should continue to be exempt from the Order.

Please now see details of a formal consultation process on the ‘Exemption Order’, to which we urge you to consider a response:
