Alternative provision

Short Stay Schools, Pupil Referral Units and Personalised Learning Centres Staff:

• Do you want the children and young people who have been excluded from all other forms of education to have a chance to thrive?
• Do the children and young people who attend your alternative provision frequently fail to make positive relationships with you no matter how hard you try?
• Do the children and young people have extreme angry outbursts and use the same coping strategies that have failed them before, over and over and over?
• Do you sometimes have a sense of hopelessness around the children with whom you work?
• Do you, deep down, know that whatever you try the children or young people with whom you work have made little progress, academically, skills-wise or socially?
• Do you recognise that even if the children or young people with whom you work do make some academic progress, their emotional resilience and ability to make and sustain productive, nourishing relationships is compromised?
• Do you want to give these children and young people who have been consistently failed in education (and their lives so far) a chance to do and be something different?

Thrive-Online can help.

Thrive-Online and training in The Thrive Approach can give you a good enough theoretical understanding of what is going on for these youngsters and the most useful set of skills to know what to do and how to do it.

You will be able to re-engage with them and they will be able to re-engage with learning.
