STEPS

STEPS (Social Training and Education Programme in Surrey) is run by The Surrey Care Trust.

It offers the following programmes

> School Inclusion: works with schools in Woking and Spelthorne to provide a short intensive programme for pupils in years 8-10 who are indentified by the schools as being at risk of social exclusion.
contact: sian@surreycaretrust.co.uk for Woking and mark@surreycaretrust.org.uk for Spelthorne

> U16s: works with years 10 and 11 who are school non-attenders. They are still on-role at school but attend the STEPS programme 4 days a week in Knaphill instead. We do not do GCSE's but offer an alternative curriculum using Open College Network units where the young person can work at their own pace.

> Lifeskills: This is a 20 week E2E (entry to employment) course supported by Guildford College aimed at young people who have left school with no or few qualifications (aged 16-24). The programme runs 3 days a week. If the young person is aged 16-19 they can claim £30 a week for attending, increasing if they carry out work experience. It is also based in Knaphill and offers OCN units. contact: magda.pascoe@surreycaretrust.co.uk, 01483 487037
