Team Around the Secondary School Local Youth Support Services and the Secondary Behaviour and Attendance Partnership strongly believe that: the development of integrated, (virtual) multi-agency teams around each of the local secondary schools, including Catcote and the PRU, provides the best model for securing improved outcomes for vulnerable young people (of Secondary School age) and supporting them on the path to success.

8. Integrated Processes • The team around the secondary school provides us with the framework for implementing the vision laid out by the Government for vulnerable young people. • It brings together a number of key practitioners who otherwise may have operated independently of the school and of each other • It will help schools, families and practitioners make sense of the following:

9. Team Around the Primary School • Focus of work will be families living in poverty with particular reference to domestic violence, substance misuse, poor parenting and mental health issues.

Reduction in number of pupils, and schools, who fall into PA category Reduction in referrals to Social Care that are not accepted Further reduction in the number of fixed & permanent exclusions Increase in GCSE attainment or equivalent/ appropriate qualifications Reduction in the level of offending Reduction in the use of Class A drugs by under 25s Reduction in the under-18 conception rate Reduction in the proportion of 16 to 18 year olds not in education, employment or training (NEET)

14. The Future/Challenges • How do we link in with other services/professions? • Should Your Challenge be to link your services in with the Team Around the School Programme? • How will you do this?
