Support is for young people with additional support needs in England who feel anxious or unsure and have limited or no plans for the future.

You may be in school or college or have finished education and be unsure how to move forward.

Support can be individual or with others through peer support. You could also get involved in our work to improve services for other young people who face barriers.

We aim to help you:

  • build up your confidence,
  • know your rights, and
  • recognise your own strengths so that you can move forward
