It is based on an innovative project in Portsmouth: Back on Track - a partnership between Headspace Early Intervention in Psychosis Team and Highbury College.

Intergenerational access to informal learning

This project has now finished. We've left it here for reference.

This research project examined the use of intergenerational learning (including wider family learning) to provide access to informal adult learning.  Commissioned by DIUS, it built on work already completed by NIACE on family learning and on older learners.

NWFEproject

This 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.

Corby Reads

This project has now finished. Details about the project can be found below.

The aim of this project was to explore and evaluate options for the future provision of the literacy strand of provision services currently offered through the Corby Leaning Partnership, known as Corby Reads! This was an initiative that focused on raising the levels of literacy of children and young people in Corby through the engagement of all the citizens of Corby, and particularly parents and carers, including grandparents.
