Our Unique Approach
We provide a unique service where the needs of individual schools are met by precisely calibrating engagement: detailed advance remote, or in-person meetings, are the norm at YouthShoots.
Whole School and Pupil Focus
YouthShoots has a whole school approach and focuses on the journey of the pupil through school, tailoring its training content to specific age groups and important moments in a pupil’s development (e.g. when digital safety becomes important or when it is time to make decisions about the future). We strive to reach as many pupils as possible within the budgetary envelope of the school, which includes through the cultivation of our ‘Resilience Reps’, which ensures pupils can propagate the resilience they learn throughout the school.
AfterCare
Our ‘Propagation Pack’, created with the school, leaves staff and pupils with Lesson Plans, PowerPoints and Activities to develop and practice the lessons learnt from their training day. Several packs are available and the content aligns with a variety of focused topics such as mental wellbeing, resilience and online safety.
We stay in close contact with each and every school by offering 'Development Calls' by video conference with the young people we train, to help their ideas grow and encourage any social action initiatives the pupils adopt as a result of the training.
Keeping Up to Date
Every stage of YouthShoots’ engagement aligns with the current Legislation (Online Safety Act 2023), Regulation (Ofcom, “A Positive Vision for Media Literacy: Ofcom’s Three-Year Media Literacy Strategy”/“Evaluation Toolkit.."), Government curriculum (RSE "Mental Wellbeing" and "Internet Safety & Harms") and initiatives (Senior Mental Health Leads and PHE's “Promoting Children and Young People’s Emotional Health and Wellbeing”), which are currently quickly evolving, as pupil wellbeing and internet safety awareness has achieved its deserved priority.
