Educational Support for Children & Young People in our care
We know that it is not always easy to make the right choices when it comes to education. That is why we have a educational consultant who can help your with any educational matter.

Meet Sabeen, our family Educational Consultant.

Sabeen is available to help you with any educational matter. This could be by assisting you with choosing the right courses, by giving you advice on GCSE/A-Levels, and can help you to build your confidence in your studies. She will also be able to guide you on college choices/apprenticeship opportunities.
Sabeen also holds various workshops on education matter for Children in our care as well as for our Foster Carers.
