It is almost universally recognised that the current guidance for supporting young people who are struggling to attend school does not work for many.
But the North West has been at the forefront of collaborating at a multi-agency level around this issue, and Spectrum Gaming has been leading on creating some new guidance alongside key partners.
We have delivered 3 webinars over the past few months, outlining the ambitious project, explaining the foundational concepts and understanding that underpin the need for change, and gathering views and input from a wide range of attendees and contributors, so that the project has the best chance of success.
The next step is to continue to collaborate on creating guidance and resources that work for young people. We are working with a huge team of incredible people, including young people, parents, and professionals from across different sectors to create something that we believe will much better meet the needs of all young people. This guidance will be launching as a website in the coming months and will be open access for everyone.
