Education
Who can benefit?
We work with thirteen commissioning schools, including mainstream secondary schools, special schools and Pupil Referral Units; plus social workers, home educators, foster carers, care homes, virtual schools and private individuals.
More than half of our students have Education, Health & Care Plans (EHCP) in place.
We focus our services on 12 - 18 year olds who:
-
Struggle with mental and emotional well-being, anxiety, stress or anger
-
Are experiencing difficult or challenging times in their lives
-
Have barriers to learning
-
Have issues with authority
-
Are not coping in school for whatever reason, are excluded or at risk of exclusion
