and have a safe place to talk. Mentoring is also a time when students can set themselves SMART targets and get support in reaching their goals. “T e aim is to provide a child-centred, solution-focused approach
that helps develop life skills but in a way that allows students to be part of the decisions that involves them. Whether they are with us for six weeks or six months, or even longer, we look to raise their aspirations, build confi dence, social skills and self-worth to hopefully get them to the stage when they feel able to go back into a mainstream education environment and fulfi l their true potential.” Throughout the process, Shine Learning & Training Centre CIC maintains communication and positive relationships with students’ parents or guardians, understanding that it can be a stressful and worrying time for all concerned. Regular review meetings monitor progress until, by working together, the student is back on track and ready for the right educational setting for them. One student from Shine Learning & Training Centre said: “Shine
has a calm and relaxing environment. I prefer Shine because the student numbers are smaller. T e teachers at Shine are trustworthy and respectful towards all students. T e staff here have worked with me since December 2019 to get my behaviour sorted. All staff have worked individually with me. Shine has helped me with mentoring
sessions and gave me advice on how to address a situation calmly and in the right way.” In addition, Shine also helps other professionals,
parents and carers who want to improve their knowledge and skills, including chance to increase their own social or emotional development in a strong, safe and non-judgemental learning environment. T e centre has remained open during lockdown,
providing face-to-face learning where appropriate, but online teaching is available to those where it is advisable or preferable to remain at home. Marielle said: “We believe that everyone has
a light to ‘Shine’ and with support we can help our students realise this. With fi rm boundaries, high expectations, the right support and good behaviour models, we can give them the best opportunities to succeed and direct them onto the road to self-fulfi lment and recognition of their true potential.”
