Services for EBNAS Support/Reintegration

Over years of working with the Local Authority helping at risk youth, Simon saw that interventions worked best when the young people felt like they had a say in the programme, when they felt included in the creation of the interventions rather than a subject of them, and when the focus was taken away from ‘what was wrong’ in their lives and instead showcased what they were doing well. This experience, in addition to his extensive experience as a professional musician with a specialism in music tech, led to the creation of Noise Solutions face-to-face programmes which remain at the core of Noise Solutions delivery.

Providing a variety of bespoke services for young people who are chronically disengaged, out of education, or at risk. Whatever the reasons, Nudge Education has  provided interventions for hundreds of chronically disengaged children and young people throughout the UK. They also offer support to parents, carers, schools and local authorities, to better look after the children in their care.

We are an autistic-led learning centre for autistic children in Years 5 to 9. We provide nine hours of small group tuition, per pupil, per week across academic, wellbeing and collaboration. Oaks Rise utilises a low-demand approach to all activities, meaning that learners are welcome to join activities or to work independently. This helps learners to feel safe in the knowledge that they have autonomy in the learning environment. Each session at Oaks Rise involves a mix of group work, individual project-based work and, if learners wish, more traditional ‘work-book’ style learning.

An alternative education provision, offering both primary and secondary pupils who are not engaged with mainstream education the opportunities to learn within a vocational environment, developing confidence and effective communication. P.L.O.T. have two sites that focus on the specific needs of our students. They believe in outdoor learning, which is why their Wickham Market site is based on a working farm, with workshops set up to reflect the great outdoors. 

Paws for Thought is an independent Care Farm based near the river Deben Woodbridge in an area of outstanding natural beauty. We work with children and teenagers between the ages of 8 and 16, with mental health issues, learning difficulties, behavioural problems, looked after children and child carers.
