Sidestep Pathways is a specialised, trauma-informed re-engagement intervention for young people facing Emotionally-Based School Non-Attendance (EBSNA)

We are delighted to be based at, and working closely with, the wonderful outdoor education provision at the Anderton Centre in Chorley, Lancashire.

The people involved….

Sidestep Pathways CIO. Charity Status applied for.

We are a group of local educational practitioners and leaders, SEND specialists and parents/carers.

We want to see young people engaged in education in our local area.

We know that very large numbers of young people are either severely absent from school or reluctantly home educating.

We want to provide something different to re-engage them with education.

We are privileged to be supported by a wide range of key strategic partners…
