The emphasis on learning outcomes has been heightened by targets set for helping young people to achieve both Recorded Outcomes and Accredited Outcomes Recorded Outcomes occur when youth workers can demonstrate that individual young people, operating on their own or within a group, have progressed to achieve pre-planned goals or learning objectives set within a youth work project or programme. Accredited Outcomes occur when young people successfully complete a locally or nationally recognised award, usually evidenced by a verified certificate.
