• Providing guidance and support to learners as they develop the skills they need for adult life.
• Encouraging learners to develop effective communication and social interaction skills, including appropriate behaviour and confidence in public settings.
• Promoting independence in all areas of learning and everyday life, including preparing for interviews, using public transport and engaging within the wider community.
• Supporting the development of learners’ confidence, resilience and motivation enabling them to make informed decisions with support about their future
• Assisting with completion of all necessary evaluations, reports and documentation as required.
