Access to Skill's and Opportunities

Workshops & Skill Building   

At SEND the Help CIC, we provide a compassionate and inclusive Alternative Provision service for children and young people who are unable to thrive in mainstream school.

Our provision (UKPRN 10099533) supports pupils aged 10–16 who may be experiencing Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), anxiety, school refusal, or other barriers to learning such as trauma, medical needs, or low self-confidence. We work in small groups and one-to-one, offering a safe, nurturing environment where every young person can rebuild confidence, develop independence, and re-engage with education.

What We Offer

  • Individualised support plans tailored to each child’s needs and, where relevant, EHCP outcomes.

  • Confidence-building activities that focus on wellbeing, resilience, and social skills.

  • Practical learning opportunities that prepare for adulthood, education, training, or work.

  • Strong family partnerships, ensuring parents and carers feel supported and involved.

  • Collaboration with schools, local authorities, and professionals to enable smooth transitions and reintegration.

Who Can Access Our Provision?

  • Children and young people unable to attend mainstream school due to anxiety, school refusal, or emotional barriers.

  • Pupils with SEND such as autism, ADHD, or dyslexia.

  • Young people awaiting specialist placements.

  • Children with medical conditions or other challenges that affect their ability to attend school.

  • Families looking for trusted, local provision in North Devon that can be commissioned via schools, local authorities, or through direct payments and personal budgets.

Why Choose SEND the Help CIC?

  • We combine professional qualifications with lived experience of supporting young people.

  • We are fully insured, enhanced DBS checked, and safeguarding trained.

  • Our provision is not just about education — it’s about wellbeing, belonging, and preparing for life.

If your child is struggling in mainstream education — whether due to SEND, anxiety, or other barriers — or you’re a school seeking a trusted partner, we’re here to help.
