Who We Support
Every young person deserves a way
Forward
Forward Futures supports children and young people aged 6–25 who may benefit from a more flexible, personalised approach to engagement,
learning and development.
We work with individuals experiencing barriers to education, training or progression. Our support recognises that every young person's needs, strengths
and aspirations are different.
SEMH & Emotional Wellbeing
We support children and young people with social, emotional and mental health needs who may benefit from additional support with confidence, emotional regulation, resilience and building positive relationships.
SEND & Additional Needs
Children and young people with special educational needs, disabilities or additional needs may benefit from personalised approaches to engagement, learning and development.
We recognise that different environments, levels of support and approaches may help individuals engage and progress.
Attendance & Engagement
Some young people experience difficulties attending or engaging with school or college, or face barriers to accessing education.
Our flexible support focuses on understanding individual circumstances, building confidence and creating opportunities to reconnect with learning.
Exclusion & Disengagement
We work with young people who may be at risk of suspension, exclusion or disengagement from education.
Support may include targeted intervention, smaller nurturing environments or alternative approaches that help individuals rebuild engagement and develop positively.
NEET & Progression
We support young people who are not in education, employment or training, or who are at risk of becoming NEET.
Our approach can focus on confidence, personal development, practical skills and preparation for positive opportunities in education, training or employment.
Confidence & Personal Development
Some young people may benefit from additional support with self-esteem, resilience, communication, relationships and greater independence.
We create opportunities to recognise strengths, build essential skills and prepare for positive next steps.
Support Shaped Around the Individual
Every young person's story is different.
Our support is personalised, recognising that individuals may need different approaches, environments and levels of support to engage,
develop and make progress.
Engagement before progress.
