Education
Mary’s team works within schools, inclusion units and Pupil Referral
Units.
Mary’s provides social and emotional support so underlying causes
of behaviour are addressed. We provide 1:1 mentoring in schools,
a presence in classrooms and wrap-around support for the young
person outside of school hours.
Our Young Londoner’s Fund cohort provides outcome data on our
12 week individual support for secondary school age young people.
We found that Mary’s reduced the level of aggression and improved
mental health and self esteem.
Mary’s meant that young people were not excluded, with 74% of
our young people staying in education, breaking the cycle of at risk
young people being taken into gangs.
Children who are outside of mainstream education are more
vulnerable to becoming the victim of childhood criminal
exploitation
