Interesting piece on the news about Gareth Southgate programme about young men needing opportunities. Totally agree Gareth and there are some great projects supporting young men with employment skills and mentoring but that’s where it stops .

Too many companies won’t give these young men a chance and are quick to blame insurance, health and safety. There’s no entry level apprenticeships , young men going to college to learn a trade can’t progress as the apprenticeship places aren’t there.

As much as we build our young people up The Block when it comes to moving them forward we have struggled. We have had to create our own valid and relevant work experiences and work for our students , we’re having to create new self employed entrepreneurs as well as creating a further not for profit company to give students work . These young people can only take so many knock back before losing their confidence, impacting on their mental health.

Yes some work a little differently and may take a bit more time to settle in but trust me you will learn so much from them too . Give these young men a opportunity change the narrative about the road-men

One size education doesn’t fit all . Our mantra at The Block. We offer flexible personal vocational training, support, timetables and curriculums to SEN young people . Referrals to services need to be quicker to many young SEN have long periods out of education because mainstream is not suitable for their needs.
