What we offer
Our young people's service can offer a range of support and activities to improve educational outcomes for young people. We have a proven track record of engaging with young people with a range of personal difficulties. We can offer your academy or school:
- Bespoke programmes of alternative education, featuring life skills for groups or individuals.
- Alternative accredited awards (delivering part or whole awards), which includes:
- Duke of Edinburgh Award.
- ASDAN (Award Scheme Development and Accreditation Network).
- Youth Achievement Award.
- A range of Support Work and Interventions from our highly qualified universal education workforce.
- Inclusion work from specialist members of our team.
- Drop-ins where young people choose to engage with staff, in their own time, especially with regard to personal situations. This has proven especially popular in schools during lunchtime or immediately after the school day.
