What We Do?
We are committed to achieving the best possible outcomes for our students – who are often some of the most vulnerable young people in our society – and we are committed to providing the top quality, individualised learning packages that they deserve.
Training and Consultancy.
PROVISIONS
At all our sites, we have created a calm, safe, small group environment that encourages all our students to flourish. We deliver concentrated short-term interventions or ongoing longer-term support as required.
Our bright, modern premises provide the perfect environment for students to succeed. The small-group settings offer a safe, settled and structured venue where young people can overcome their anxieties and begin to develop and learn. Our staff employ a range of nurturing and therapeutic techniques and activities that raise self-esteem, increase social and emotional insight and enable students to regulate their behaviours.
As well as focusing on nurture, we also incorporate more formal learning into our sessions. We support young people through accredited academic and vocational qualifications up to GCSE standard, or beyond.
OUTREACH WORK
When it is beneficial to the young person, staff from The Unity Project (SY) can also support students in a range of locations. This is usually within a school or college, residential care setting or other appropriate venue. Often, we support the young person on a 1:1 basis, and we can also offer support within lessons or whilst the young person attends other vocational placements.
We find this approach can optimise the student’s chances of securing qualifications, particulaly for older students who are nearing the end of their time at school or college, and is also invaluable in supporting students whose anxieties prevent them accessing other environments, or after intervention, are reintegrating back into a mainstream setting.
