The Outreach Team supports young people who are struggling to attend school due to health-related challenges, with the primary goal of helping them re-engage with education.
The initial focus of the Outreach Team is to build a trusting relationship with the young person and their parents or carers. This helps us to better understand the specific barriers preventing school engagement. We also work closely with other professionals involved in the young person’s care to gather a full picture of their needs.
Following this, a personalised plan is developed, setting clear and achievable goals to support the young person’s journey back into education. This plan is tailored to the individual’s presentation and needs, and aims to develop strategies that build resilience, confidence, self-esteem, and support emotional health and wellbeing.
As trust and progress build, we gradually introduce a programme designed to reintroduce the young person to education in a supportive and structured way. The plan is flexible and reviewed weekly by the Outreach Team to reflect the young person’s progress.
Please note: Outreach support does not include academic tuition. Instead, it is intended as a pathway to help the young person reintegrate into their home school or transition into a TRS setting.
