The service aims to provide a tailored package of personalised learning and vocational training opportunities based on individually assessed needs of young people aged 14 — 16+ who have social, emotional and mental health needs which either significantly compromise their progress, and that of their peers, or they are at risk of disengaging from learning in mainstream schools. There will be some young people with mental health issues and some in need of Therapeutic input. The service will support the aspiration of Doncaster schools and it's Local Authority of zero exclusions and the optimisation of educational progression for all Doncaster pupils.
