Our main focus is to work with children and young people most in need, including those with mild to moderate disabilities or additional needs. Our SEN offer focuses on activities and events based at our sites across Tyneside.
We have SEN Community hubs which offer young people (14-25) the chance to meet in a safe environment where they can socialise outside school, form new friendships, and become more confident and independent. (They are currently on hold while we look for a new venue).

Care to Learn, which was started 20 years ago as part of the Teenage Pregnancy Strategy, continues to provide funding for childcare to help young parents continue in education after the birth of a child. Young parents are defined as those aged under 20 at the date they start their study programme. It can help the young parent with any additional travel costs involved in taking the child to the childcare provider and also provides funding for childcare whilst young parents are on work placements or industry placements, where these are a defined part of the study programme.
