We aim to respect young people’s privacy while also working in partnership with parents. Safeguarding concerns are always shared appropriately. Parents/carers can always ask to speak to leaders directly if they have any concerns.
Attendance is always voluntary. If a young person is unable to attend for an extended period, we will try to check in. If we don’t hear back, their place may be offered to another young person in need, and they will be informed, while we remain open to reconnecting in the future.
That’s okay. We’ll do our best to help signpost to other support options.
