Working in
Partnership to Support Young People

AS2Educate works in partnership with local authorities, schools and safeguarding professionals to support young people who require Alternative Provision.

We support students aged 14–18 (KS4 and Post-16) who benefit from a smaller environment to reconnect with learning and move toward adulthood.

AS2Educate works with commissioners across:

Hertfordshire

Central Bedfordshire

Placements focus on rebuilding confidence while developing the academic, vocational and life skills needed for the next stage.

Have SEMH needs, anxiety or additional learning needs

Require a smaller, personalised learning environment

Need support preparing for college, training or employment

All referrals are reviewed carefully to ensure the provision is the right fit. Where appropriate, a meeting is arranged with the young person and professionals before confirming placement.

Safeguarding & Quality Assurance

Safeguarding underpins every aspect of the provision. AS2Educate operates with clear safeguarding procedures and works closely with local authority safeguarding teams, social care services and other professionals supporting young people.

The provision also participates in local authority quality assurance processes, ensuring that safeguarding, education delivery and operational standards remain consistently high.
