Two websites have been developed in response to a shortage of meaningful online support for young people and their parents:
The aim of the ‘We the Differents’ site is to empower young people to overcome barriers they might be facing, motivate them and to increase their understanding of options and pathways available to reengage in education. Some of the content themes include; find your different, do education your way, make it possible with education/training and you don’t have to do this alone.
The Spark their Future site aims to provide parents with online support and advice for their child who is disengaging. The content is delivered in a non-confronting way and is designed to reach, support and motivate parents of disengaged young people to help them remain engaged in education pathways.
