How we measure

WHAT IT IS

TRUSTED RELATIONSHIPS. MEASURED PROGRESS.

Focused one-to-one support that builds belonging, resilience and the skills to make safer decisions. Culturally responsive and co-created around each young person, our mentoring is led by practitioners with lived experience.

Some young people need focused, individual support. Our mentoring pairs them with a trained youth worker who sticks with them over time, building the safe, consistent relationship that change depends on.

Together they set goals, track progress and work through the specific triggers behind a young person’s behaviour. It is where emotional intelligence stops being a lesson and becomes something used in the moment.

What working with us looks like

REFERRAL AND SCOPING:

You identify the young person; we agree goals and safeguarding arrangements with your team. Early sessions focus on trust and rapport, then we work through triggers and practical strategies the young person can use. Regular reviews help your team see progress and sustain change after mentoring ends.

WHAT WE WORK TOWARDS:

Young people build practical emotional intelligence skills, stronger relationships and a clearer connection to learning. Progress is reviewed with the young person and the setting.

What’s included

  • Personalised goals across wellbeing, behaviour, attendance and aspirations
  • Early, relational support that helps young people manage risk
  • Trusted relationships led by practitioners with lived experience
