Connexions School Inclusion Adviser

Connexions School InclusionCCP's Connexions-funded Personal Adviser [PA] works with young people referred by education welfare officers and schools. The pupils, aged from 13 to16, will be in danger of disengaging from education, may have a record of poor attendance or may have been subject to exclusions. There may be also be concerns over the pupils' home circumstances. A key feature of the Adviser's role is working on a regular 1:1 basis in order to build the confidence, aspirations and self esteem of children who have limited prospects at school or as school leavers. Where appropriate, the Personal Advisor can also support parents alongside the young people and can make referrals to the Community Services team.
