I saw this advertised today and thought of the ‘Youths’  as it is aimed at 15-17 year olds.  It is a government initiative and from what I can tell only costs £50 to sign up for?  It is a summer and October half term programme.  As well as the obvious communicative and confidence benefits; I thought it would be good for some of them to put on their CV’s as it recognised by UCAS.  It also states that the programme accommodates a large range of SEN. 

I know schools sometimes promote it but I haven’t heard of any promoting it locally.  Attached is the link to the website.
