Understanding Direct PaymentsMany adults, including people with mental health difficulties are motivated to return to adult learning by interest in, and necessity to learn about something of direct relevance to their lives. As a means by which people can take greater control over the support they receive, the social care personalisation agenda can provide that "hook" that enables individuals to take the first step back into adult learning and from which they can be signposted on to other opportunities if they wish. |

NWFEprojectThis project has now finished. We've left it here for reference. Many young people who experience emotional and psychological distress may not have disclosed their difficulties to health services and have not received a diagnosis, or do not use conventional names to label their distress. Similarly, they may not disclose any such difficulties on enrolment with a learning provider. As a result, the 'real levels of emotional and psychological distress' in young people may be higher than those suggested by official statistics. As trusted adults within learning providers can often be the ones that young people turn to for support in the first instance, some exploration into the experiences of young people and their learning providers was needed. The North West LSC, being aware of the region's particular needs around mental health, and also having concern about the FE drop-out rates at age 16 and 17, provided funding for this project to take place. |
