Working With Schools and Partners
Community Sparks Change works with schools, local authorities, community organisations and families to provide targeted support for young people.
We can work alongside existing school support plans, pastoral teams, SEN teams and safeguarding leads to ensure each young person receives appropriate and consistent support.
Our provision can be delivered in schools, community venues or agreed local settings, depending on the needs of the young person and the referring organisation.
Safeguarding and Professional Standards
Safeguarding is central to everything we do.
Our staff and volunteers follow safeguarding procedures, safer working practices and appropriate reporting processes. We work in partnership with schools, parents, carers and professionals to help keep young people safe.
We aim to create an environment that is respectful, inclusive, structured and supportive.
Referral and Enquiries
Schools, local authorities, parents, carers and partner organisations can contact Community Sparks Change to discuss Alternative Provision support.
We are happy to have an initial conversation about the young person’s needs, the type of support required and how we may be able to help.
