Here to help you through the process

People attend for different reasons.

You may have been referred by a service, advised to come, or chosen to attend yourself.

Our role is to explain the process and help you complete what’s required.

Step 1

Check what you need

You may have been asked to attend by:

  • a court or legal service
  • a school or agency
  • a support worker
  • a recommendation you’ve agreed to

Different programs have different steps — we’ll help confirm the right one.

Step 2

Start the process

Most people begin by either:

  • submitting a form
  • contacting our intake team

We’ll explain the requirements and book you in if appropriate.

You won’t be locked into anything during the first contact.

Step 3

Attend and complete

During the program we will:

  • explain expectations clearly
  • tell you what counts as completion
  • answer any questions about requirements

Proof & documentation

If you need confirmation for a court, agency or employer, we can provide documentation once requirements are met.

If you’re unsure what proof you need — ask us before attending.

You won't be judged

You won’t need to share everything immediately

You can ask questions at any stage
