Standards for Peer Education Programmes – Checklist (PDF, 122 KB) is a four-page summary of the 52 recommended standards, designed as an easy reference tool for managers to take with them for site visits and assistance during meetings.
The standards tool is divided into four sections:
1. Introduction and Overview. This discusses why peer education is important, issues in using standards in peer education, and how to use this guide.
2. Peer Education Standards Checklist. This section includes the 52 standards in the five categories, with a brief description of each. This section is reprinted in the separate checklist publication described above.
3. Peer Education Standards. This more lengthy section discusses each of the standards and provides tips and short lessons learned from field experiences about many of them.
4. Code of Ethics. This includes a discussion of 10 recommended elements of a code of ethics for peer education programs.
The annexes include a brief description of Y-PEER, a list of the participants at the consultation where this tool was developed, and an annotated list of peer education resources.
This standards tool is part of an expanded Youth Peer Education Toolkit sponsored by the Youth Peer Education Network (Y-PEER) project. The toolkit also includes the following publications:
Unfortunately, we are out of hard copies for the Standards for Peer Education Programmes, the Training of Trainers Manual, and the Theatre-Based Techniques Manual, and there are no plans for reprinting at this time.
