ChangeofScene

Change of Scene aims to make a life-changing difference for a few, rather than a marginal difference for many. However, after 11 years, those few now number over 120. The youngsters referred to the programme, may flounder in a classroom environment as a result of social, emotional or behavioural difficulties. Following the Dyadic Developmental Practice of PACE, they work one to one with the children, aiming to nurture their self-belief, increase their confidence and improve their life chances. Caring for animals and the land, they learn life has a pattern and purpose and that their contribution has beneficial effects.

Working outdoors, studying animal husbandry and horticulture, the young people engaged in the programme discover a new way of learning and that, with hard work, they can make a significant contribution. Young people acquire new life skills and have the opportunity to gain nationally recognised qualifications, thus enabling access to further education, employment and the opportunity to build a portfolio of work by creating a permanent record of personal achievement.

The High Sheriff was pleased that HSYA support was focused on a pilot scheme to help a young person to avoid becoming excluded from school and that the results to date were most promising.
