Education
We work with some of the most disadvantaged young people in our education centres, many of whom have previously disengaged with learning.
A significant majority of our learners have multiple barriers to learning, including one or more social disadvantage indicator. More than half declare a learning difficulty or disability at enrolment, and 60% are from the 27% most disadvantaged wards.
Despite this, we know our learners have the potential to achieve and we support them to do so.
