-
Exhibiting risky behaviours that jeopardise personal safety
-
At the risk of going on to part-time school timetables or at risk of exclusion
-
Home educated where early help can have a positive impact
-
Have moderate learning difficulties (without an Education and Health Care Plan)
-
Have low-level behavioural issues (without an Education and Health Care Plan)
Referrals may also be made for a parent or carer.
Our GLOW initiatives support young people to:
-
Understand and manage their feelings and behaviours
-
Learn new skills and approaches which can positively influence friendships and relationships at home and in school
-
Set and work towards personal goals
-
Learn how to build and maintain friendships decreasing isolation
-
Focus on education and careers
Young people tell us they value the time with their mentor or coach to explore issues which matter to them with a view to working towards solutions. All of which builds confidence and self-esteem.
