Fabulous resource!
We’re excited to share that the Barriers to Education website has officially launched: http://barrierstoeducation.co.uk
The Barriers to Education website has been created to bring parents, carers and professionals together with practical, compassionate approaches that make a real difference.
At its heart is the WARMTH Framework, alongside a growing library of tools, strategies and case studies that show what’s possible when we focus on understanding needs and creating conditions where young people feel safe, valued and able to thrive.
The website isn’t just here for you to read, but it is here for you to use as you see fit:
💛 Share it
Feel free to share this website with anyone who may not otherwise see it
🧡Use the content
We are very happy for any of the content to be added to your own existing (or new) documents or guidance.
💙Amend the content
We are very happy for you to use but also amend any wording so that it fits your Local Area or setting, the people within it and your current work and priorities.
💜Use it as a foundation
You are welcome to use any of the content we have shared as a foundation for your own local ideas, strategies, provision and interventions in your area or setting.
💚Share with us
If you are using any part of Barriers to Education, we would love to hear from you! Our vision for this website is for it to be a community owned, shared space where best practice, ideas and successes can be disseminated. Taking the time to share your resources, input or learning in our 'WARMTH in Practice' section could offer others (across the country) the chance to make a life changing difference to the young people that they are supporting.
We want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who contributed to the creation of the Barriers to Education website. Over 1,500 people contributed including young people, parents and carers, professionals across education, health and social care, researchers and more and it would not have been possible without you.
You can explore the site and join us in shaping it through the link in the comments.
