Support for young people
We provide support for young people who are at risk of becoming NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training) through Inspire and Inspire Outreach.
Inspire
Inspire can support young people in school to maintain full time education when the young person is experiencing barriers such as attendance, attainment, behaviour and wellbeing.
Inspire will offer tailored support to young people referred to the project, such as:
- One to One needs led support.
- BTEC Level 2 Qualifications
- Access to a wider range of Employability qualifications
- Post 16 Destinations support considering all options available to the young person
- Continued support until 19 years if the young person has struggled to find the right education, employment or training placement at post 16.
Inspire Outreach
Inspire Outreach supports young people who have low school attendance and do not have any diagnosed medical needs. An Inspire Outreach Worker provides 1:1 support to young people referred by schools or the Education Welfare Service, helping them identify the barriers affecting their attendance and working with them to overcome these challenges, with the aim of returning to full-time education.
When a young person successfully reintegrates into school, Inspire’s in-school support team will continue working with them, providing ongoing support.
“I have worked with my Inspire worker for a year, they have made a huge difference in my life by always being there to support me when I needed it most.
They helped me stay focused on my schoolwork, encouraged me to believe in myself, and pushed me to do better even when things got tough.
Whenever I was struggling, they took the time to listen and helped me find positive ways to deal with my problems.
Because of my Inspire worker, I’ve become more confident, responsible, and motivated to succeed in school and in life.”
