Support online

A key aspect of support is responding to those in need when they need it and that often means outside of the conventional 9-5 routine

We all dislike the call centre solution that doesnt meet our needs but meets the name of the charity or business.

Reality is that out teenagers are expecting and demanding support when they need it not when our offices happen to open

Solutions come accross as fairly simple

The option to chat is probably the key because that is what the user prefers

This gives the option to send links is possible. Chats are the way that most teenagers communicate.

Youth & our Responsibility

The Youth of today have real issues
They are looking for support that they can access today
Our responsibility is to provide that in a way that they can access and relate to and in a way that they have the confidence to communicate in.
This may not mean the traditional call centre and a 5 mins queue due to the lines being busy.
Chat and messages are more relatable allowing for a delay many still have more confidence.
We provide support and can incluse links to the information that is sought. We also accept appointments on Benefits2work

Apprenticeships-parents guide

Below are extracts of the Apprenticeships guide for parents. Apprenticeships were mentioned in the Budget this month so I felt adding the information to the Blog made sense
Introduction
As a parent you want your child to get
the best possible start in their career.
There are many options available to
young people after they leave school,
and in this guide we outline information
and benefits about Apprenticeships as a
key route into a successful career.
What is an
Apprenticeship
An Apprenticeship is a real job with
training which would allow your
daughter or son to earn while they learn,
whilst gaining a nationally recognised
qualification. Apprenticeships take
between one and five years to complete
and cover 1500 job roles in a wide
range of industries, from engineering
to accountancy, public relations to
veterinary nursing.

Entry requirements
Apprenticeships are available to anyone
over the age of 16, living in England.
There are different entry requirements
depending on the sector and job.

Apprenticeship levels
There are three levels of Apprenticeship
your son or daughter could apply for
depending on their current skills and
qualifications:
– Intermediate Apprenticeship (level 2);
– Advanced Apprenticeship (level 3);
– Higher Apprenticeship (level 4 or
above).
The core components for Intermediate
and Advanced Apprenticeships are:
– A nationally recognised vocational
qualification;
– Functional skills (e.g. literacy,
numeracy and ICT);
– A technical certificate such as a BTEC
or City & Guilds (relevant to the
specific Apprenticeship);
– Other professional qualifications
or requirements as specified by the
particular job.
The core components for Higher
Apprenticeships are as above but exclude
the functional skills element.

NEET ABSENSE

Your child has decided that they are not coming home the night before school.

There is a Taxi waiting in the morning. They have turned their mobile off. Is this normal for them or unusual. Is it a regular challenge? Teenagers or our youth can be a challenge with their routines and mates.

The school will advise that you need to phone the police when this happens. Failure could potentially be deemed as neglect. Catch 22 if you are forever calling the police does it help or not?

What if your teenager has a poor relationship with the police? Is there a risk that the police may ignore the situation if your calls are regular?
