It's a movement for change.......

Designed for children at risk of exploitative relationships, permanent exclusion from school, or those known to statutory services.

This is an innovative intervention that goes beyond behaviour management. We challenge the core beliefs, values, and social narratives shaped by materialism, media influence, and distorted self-worth.

Through meaningful engagement, the Realign Focus Programme helps participants build new internal mindsets that are essential for long-term desistance and positive identity formation.

✅ A Bespoke Journey of Change

At the heart of it is a 12-week programme, tailored to meet the unique needs of each student. Delivered online by accessing our bespoke training hub, pastoral staff are encouraged to support by offering emotional safety whilst the student workbooks and hub videos help participants make sense of their lives.

We recommend a maximum group of 10 children to attend at a time, per 12-session cycle.

We also offer a 3-day residential option that accommodates up to 10 children at an additional cost.

Specifically designed to support both boys and girls at risk of permanent exclusion.

Why Now?

We have specialised in delivering our integrated framework of care in partnership with NHS England within Youth Custodial Institutions for over a decade. The children convicted of serious offences, who are serving sentences well into the mid-adult years, often ask why this intervention had not been available in school settings. 

Through our 7-step pathway, we deliver key messages that will help students:

✅  Reduce contemporary offending-related behaviours

✅ Develop internal mindsets crucial for desistance

✅ Provide a crucial counter-narrative to the deeply embedded norms
