We believe that every young person has the potential to succeed.
Support. Opportunity. Transformation.
Attendance and Attainment: Youth Work in Schools Unlocking potential.
Our dedicated team of youth workers and Family Liaison Officers (FLOs) work collaboratively with multi-agencies, schools, and communities to deliver non-formal learning opportunities that complement Curriculum for Excellence.
Attendance & training.
We support young people to develop the skills, confidence, and resilience they need to thrive – both in and beyond the classroom. Our work is the key to re-engaging with learning, overcoming barriers, and finding a path that works for children and young people.
We place a strong emphasis on health and wellbeing, attendance and attainment beyond exams, and collaborative working between schools and third sector partners.
Support for S1 – S3 pupils.
We offer a wide range of programmes and services tailored to the needs of young pupils, helping them settle into secondary school and build strong foundations for the future.
