Youth Engagement Support (YES) Project 

The YES Project provides education and mentoring support for young people who are at risk of disengaging from education. YES is built on a ‘Trusted Adult’ approach to engagement, encouraging positive lifestyle choices, challenging and changing attitudes and values that contribute to poor lifestyle choices, low school attendance and consequent associated safeguarding, criminal exploitation and violent crime risks.

Educational Psychology 

Educational Psychology (EP) work with children and young people, and with the adults who are involved with them, in order to improve educational outcomes. 

EPs work with underachieving students, students with additional needs, students with behavioural difficulties and other students who are failing to make progress despite school-based interventions. They also work with students who are experiencing home based difficulties which are impacting on their attainment in school.
