10 things you should know

  1. For the last 23 years, Apex Scotland has been working successfully with ‘at risk’ young people to help them achieve their potential.
  1. Apex Scotland has experienced excellent partnership working with Dunfermline High School for 7 years. In the first year of delivery, the Inclusion Unit contributed to a reduction in the school exclusion rate by 52%. By its second year the figure had reduced to 72%! We have maintained reduction with no subsequent lowering of standards.
  1. Our school services delivered sessions on Choices and Consequences and Criminality and Disclosure to 10 Fife schools, working with over 120 young people to assist them into positive destinations.
  1. In 2011, Apex Scotland’s Inclusion Unit, within Dunfermline High School, was shortlisted in the Partnership Category at the Scottish Charity Awards.
  1. The Inclusion Unit was recommended as a model of good practice by the Scottish Government’s Positive Behaviour Team.
  1. Apex Scotland’s input helped shape the Exclusion Guidance paper 2010/11 with its involvement with the Pupil Inclusion Network.
  1. The Inclusion Unit was awarded a ‘highly commended’ second place at the 2011 UK Wide Community Education Awards Ceremony held in London, hosted by Esther Rantzen. The Inclusion Unit was nominated for the Allianz tackling Anti Social Behaviour Award and was the only Scottish Charity to be nominated in this category.
  1. The Inclusion Unit is the only service of its kind in Scotland to be based full time within school and operate so many different services which offers young people the best possible chance of achieving their potential and has the results to prove it!
  1. We work across sectors to gain a holistic perspective of the young people we work with. We have had many successful partnerships and continue to build strong relationships with new and existing partners in our areas of education, community, employment and criminal justice.
  1. The Inclusion Unit won the Best Community Initiative at the Kingdom FM Local Hero Awards in August 2011.

I have enjoyed each session. Some days I didn’t want to leave the house but the thought of going to the Apex group made me get up and go out.

My confidence in myself and other people has increased. By attending this course I now feel more confident in getting out of the house, travelling on public transport and doing something for me.
