FAQ
What qualifications are involved?
ASDAN and AQA opportunities alongside employability and life skills, with Functional Skills support where it is needed.
How many days a week?
Typically 2 to 3 days per week at our centre in Redditch, with the timetable built around the individual.
Is there wellbeing support?
Yes. Wellbeing, emotional literacy and community engagement are built into the programme rather than bolted on.
Where are you based?
Our centre is in Redditch, and we work across Redditch, Bromsgrove, Worcester and wider Worcestershire, with outreach delivered in homes and community venues.
How big are the groups?
Delivery is in small groups with specialist SEND staff, so young people get the attention and predictability they need.
What if attending three days is too much to begin with?
We start where the young person can manage and build up. Some begin with Outreach and Home Support and move into the Hub gradually.
