Education support

We offer one-to-one education support to young people aged 4-16 who are struggling in their educational setting.  

Some of our young people are referred to us as they are between schools.  Some are referred to us as they need a personalised timetable.  Some need to be supported to be successfully reintegrated back into their educational setting. Whatever the reason for referral, we strive to make learning a positive experience and bring out the best in each individual by supporting them to overcome any barriers to learning and re-engage with education in a way that will nurture their self esteem and promote personal growth.  

We understand that behaviour is a form of communication.  Different people communicate different messages through a variety of behaviours - and these messages communicate a range of underlying needs.  We listen closely to the messages communicated and meet the various and complex needs of each individual.  Fostering positive and respectful relationships is crucial and we support young people to better understand themselves and the impact they have on others.  We don’t just support young people to manage their behaviour but work with them to develop strategies so that they can change their behaviour.  In this way they become more able to behave positively and safely so that effective learning can take place.  

All of our education sessions are personalised to the individual and focus on the agreed priorities and identified additional needs.  Our monitoring and evaluation processes and regular reports ensure that each individual’s progress is monitored, tracked and shared as appropriate.

Education support can be based in the young person’s home or out in the community.
