A pathway to change and it's all here we provide the necessary tools to work towards gaining employment, training or returning to education
Communication skills are important life management components that go way beyond simply speaking
Our programme keeping out & keeping on the right side of the law it's about trying to change that mindset
























 







Preparing to meet new challenges on a new journey
Preparing to meet the new challenges of the 21st century employment market with a realistic approach we assess skills and ability to see if the young person requires extra help with course work  to maximise their chances of achieving realistic goals.
"Changing the mindset & moving forward with a realistic approach"
Gaining vital skills which can help lead to employment or a training placement : 
-  Body language              -  Preparing CV's                  -  Waiting room skills
-  Interviewing skills         -  Using the telephone         -  Dress to impress
"If today they lack the skills, tomorrow they can start to work on obtaining some of those skills. If they have been told "no you can't", tomorrow they will hear "yes you can if you.."'
Personal development
We know young people can listen, but not all have the ability to absorb the information in one session. For that very reason, we go back over particular modules through out the course.

We deliver our programmes with a modern twist and a very big hint of fun using role play as an effective work tool in our developing skills programmes. 
-   How to be assertive without being rude or offensive
-   Avoid conflict without losing face
-   Manage anger and frustration
-   Express feelings without giving the wrong message  

These are all important tools for success in life. To make change a reality we must think differently and outside the box about young people's development.

Investing heavily in ensuring that our programmes are up to the task whilst redefining young people's approach to the challenges they'll face in today's urban society.
We promote the 'feel good factor' with the psychological benefits that come with change. We allocate a time slot each week for our mentoring programme .
knowing how to interact appropriately with people from various backgrounds and those in positions of authority and the opposite sex. Learning new skills. 
Drugs & Alcohol preventing the need to try drugs and reducing the desire to try something new :
-   Redefining awareness of long-term abuse
-   The issues surrounding the misuse use of drugs
-   Alcohol and substances abuse
Offender management
Some young people look at prospects of being incarcerated as an occupational hazard and have no desire in changing their direction our job is to change that mindset through our offender management programme ('Keeping Out & Keeping on Side). 
At the Gateland, we say there is nothing wrong with being on the right side of the law. The aim of our (KO & KOs) programme is to reduce the number of first-time offenders, offenders re-offending and trying to slow down that re-occurring cycle . 
"Putting yourself in a position where you could be charged under the joint enterprise act /guilty by association"
Carrying a knife for protection is not accepted as a defence in a court of law 
Our offender management programme uses role play, they get to see the difference between somebody asking for a favour or coercing them into offending.
We gives young people the necessary skills to do the right thing at the right time by saying no in a way they will not lose face amongst their peers. 
-   Giving gang members a way out of their present situation 
-   What is expected from you ? 
-   Did you do everything that was asked of you ?    
-   What is it like being a target ?
-   Knowing you could be attacked at any time, or have the police use force to enter your home or your families ?
These are just some of the challenges they face on a daily basis some of societies vulnerable young people struggling internally.
