ALTERNATIVE PROVISION

Personalised, trauma-informed and holistic education in small, supportive settings for young people across Yorkshire.

We work in partnership with qualified therapists and a multidisciplinary clinical team to ensure our approach considers the whole child: their education, wellbeing, relationships, communication and emotional needs.

Our educators are not only experienced education professionals; they are also trained and supported by our multidisciplinary clinical team, enabling them to apply trauma-informed, attachment-aware and therapeutic approaches within everyday learning.

LOW ATTENDANCE & EBSA PATHWAY

We provide a staged pathway for children experiencing low attendance, school avoidance or Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA).

For some children, returning immediately to a full school day can feel overwhelming. Our approach allows us to start where the child is and gradually build from there.

The pathway can move from:

INITIAL ENGAGEMENT → SHORT SESSIONS → HALF-DAY PROVISION → INCREASED ATTENDANCE → FULL-DAY PROVISION → REINTEGRATION

WORKING CLOSELY WITH PARENTS/CARERS AND THE REFERRING SCHOOL
