emotional and mental health needs and prepares them for adult life and facilitates their
transition into further education, training or employment. We provide care, education,
health, and therapy through the delivery of proactive, creative, and person-first responsive
practice steeped in trauma specialism.

College provides day provision for 25 learners aged 16-25. Learners study on programmes
that are appropriate to their personal learning needs and all learners follow a completely
bespoke pathway. All pathways include the 8Preparation for Adulthood9 framework.
