include's offer to engage hard to
reach young people
include is a recognised
provider of programmes aimed at engaging those young people who are
hard to reach. Currently we are currently delivering a number of
programmes in Milton Keynes, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire Berkshire
and Wiltshire. It is our intention to manage and deliver new
programmes in other parts of the country by drawing on the
expertise gained through current delivery and our skills and
experience of dealing with those young people who are at risk of
being excluded from mainstream education, training and
employment.
include programmes are aimed
at young people who are either in the ‘not in employment education
or training’ (NEET) group post 16, or those at Key Stage 4 who are
likely to become NEET. All of these young people are not yet in a
position to take up a mainstream learning or work opportunity. It
is intended that with focussed, timely and flexible support from a
dedicated worker, each young person will be able to obtain and
maintain a place in a mainstream destination within a period of 16
weeks.
include programmes use a
combination of solution focused, cognitive behavioural and
neuro-linguistic approaches to creating effective change with the
beneficiary within a 16- week maximum intervention. This
combination enables the workers on the programmes to draw on the
strengths that the young people recognise in themselves, address
areas of concern from an objective and educative point of view, and
actively encourage the generation of new, and empowered narratives
of the future.
include programmes
build links with a number of local agencies including; Connexions,
e2e providers, drug agencies, mental health authorities, Youth
Offending Services, Social Services departments, youth services,
the local authorities’ Teenage Pregnancy Partnership Board; Sure
Start, and The Family Nurturing Network and housing charities,
together with other voluntary and community groups.
