School & Agency

Information and Resources

Strong relationships with schools and other agencies are vital to our support of young people, enabling all young people in Bedfordshire to have equal access to opportunities.

F4YP works closely with schools and agencies to reach YP who would benefit from our service. This includes 1:1 school visits to meet your YP, assessments and pastoral support plans.

To further our reach we offer assemblies (in person or online video), class visits and school gate promotion. We also have a number of resources available below for you to use with young people and their families.

If you can’t find what you are looking for, please get in touch with our team: info@f4yp.org

Our service

We aim to:

  • Build Self-confidence

  • Improve emotional well being and mental health

  • Improve social skills and relationships with peers

  • Be a safe place for our young people with trusted adults

  • Support families to engage with services and community support

  • Provide new opportunities that might not otherwise be acessible

Who it’s for

We look to support YP who would benefit from the above support. To identify these young people we have a bursary criteria.

Those who qualify for our bursary criteria can attend most of our provision for free (there are some occasions where there is a small fee to encourage commitment)

Those who do not meet our bursary criteria but would still benefit or like come along can book a “Paid” place. These are still heavily subsidised.

If you have a young person that does not directly meet the criteria, but you think should qualify for a bursary place please contact the team to discuss

School & Agency Referral

F4YP want to support YP you feel may benefit from our services. To start this process you can submit a school/agency referral using the form below:

  • You must have parent/guardian consent to complete our form to comply with GDPR

  • Our form will ask you to consent for data sharing and emergency first aid treatment on behalf of the parent/guardian.

  • Please include any background information that may be relevant in supporting this YP

Following a referral we often conduct 1:1 visits in school as we recognise YP may have SEND, additional needs or emotional needs, and may therefore benefit from meeting a friendly face before attending our provision. We will also use this time to begin an individual pastoral support plan and complete any individual risk assessments that may be needed prior to attending face to face sessions.

We can attend professional meetings for YP, providing a different perspective on the YP and their family.

To discuss a referral or speak to a member of our team
