Our programme of confidence-building, engagement, guidance and
support aims to offer young people an alternative to risky behaviour,
isolation and failure. By focussing solely on their emotional responses and
practical needs we can tailor the programme to the individual, without
applying peer pressure and time constraints.
Each young person will be offered an individual, personally tailored
programme to cover specific circumstances and expected outcomes. This
will inevitably evolve over the agreed time frame but is designed to be
measurable and clear in its direction. Communication between the
student, their parents, school and all authorities is also a vital part of the
process and we offer effective liaison to ensure all parties are able to work
together, in the best interests of the young person. Safeguarding is of
utmost importance and any concerns would be reported immediately
following the session.
