- Course Outline
-
The programme is aimed at children and young people aged 5-25 years who have become, or are at risk of becoming, disengaged or excluded from education or training, or those with additional needs that mean they need more support to maintain their school placement. Participants who have benefitted from the programme include those with special educational needs, including social and emotional mental health needs, and those who may have experienced trauma or adverse childhood experiences.
The main aim of the programme is to develop and support 6 key life skills: Communication
Confidence
Teamwork
Building Relationships
Perseverance
Responsibility.
The programme is structured around two frameworks – the Achieve and Explorer awards. Both offer horse care with structured awards and certificates that recognise and reward achievement. Activities contained in each award provide opportunities for the participant to develop in the six key life skills that are transferable back to school or further education opportunities, practice learning skills linked to their school curriculum and build a portfolio of equine knowledge and experience that could lead to a pathway of further industry qualifications. - Course Modules
