Education Service
The first stage in preventing youth homelessness is to equip young people with the knowledge and skills to avert a crisis. All our sessions provide students with information of where to get help and support, including a take-home leaflet.
Our sessions are FREE to all statutory Hertfordshire education providers. (Independent schools are charged a fee).
Sessions are interactive, engaging and fun whilst being carefully tailored and structured to complement the PSHE/RSHE curriculum, as well as school and student need.
