Watch Out is our early intervention programme for children and young people who are at risk of underachievement in their learning and/or need help to get back on track. It aims to promote:
- Improved aspirations;
- Stronger personal resilience;
- Improved understanding of emotions and ability to respond more positively to them;
- Working positively with others within their communities;
- Improved engagement and achievement in their learning at school.
It is for 11–16-year-olds who may:
- be at risk of exclusion from school;
- be refusing to attend school for any reason, including mental health issues such as anxiety;
- be electively home educated (ELE) and at risk of underachieving;
- Have been arrested for any crime suitable for an out of court disposal through Community Resolutions or Youth Conditional Cautions.
It is delivered through a mix of classroom learning and practical activities.
