Consistency of a trusted person

One of the main keys to success with young people in relationship building. This creates a good foundation for trust and openness.

Key Learning:
A young person who can develop a relationship with a trusted person is more likely to feel settled and supported thus learning how to manage themselves better in difficult situations.

Other core principles

Shared Values

Shared values help to shape the school culture and everyone can share the same expectations of behaviour, learning and relationships.

Protected Time

Having protected time for a young person helps them to feel important and heard.

Flexibility

Flexibility is key throughout the whole school, no one can predict when a young person will need support. So being able to provide a space when needed is key.

Alternative Opportunities

Offering a young person alternative opportunities can be anything from a walk, to a game played outside, to making something or crafting.
