Description
Inspiring hope for children with barriers to learning, outside of the classroom.
For those with SEN and SEMH needs, attending school can feel impossible. Overwhelming classrooms, lack of understanding and pressure on resources often leaves them without vital support and many end up as unwilling or unable to attend.
Being out of education, these young people are desperately in need of your experience, expertise and understanding, which is why you should consider working with Fresh Start in Education.
