Every referral begins with the individual. We work with the referring organisation, family and learner to understand current needs, risks, strengths and intended outcomes before agreeing the most suitable form of support.
Our core offer is consistent one-to-one mentoring, normally delivered in two-hour sessions over an agreed period. The mentor uses a clear individual development plan to build engagement and work towards agreed personal, social, emotional and educational outcomes. Session content is purposeful but flexible enough to respond to what is happening in the learner’s life.
Early intervention gives a young person focused support before difficulties escalate. DICE can work alongside schools, families and other professionals to strengthen engagement, routines, communication, emotional regulation and positive decision-making.
For learners who are not currently managing full access to mainstream education, DICE offers structured mentoring and activity that helps rebuild trust, routine and readiness to learn. Where appropriate, we contribute to reintegration planning and work towards sustainable engagement with education, training or adulthood pathways.
We adapt delivery around the learner’s communication, sensory, emotional, social and educational needs. Relevant EHCP information, risk assessments and professional guidance are considered when planning support. DICE may continue working with eligible young adults up to age 23 where need and funding arrangements support this.
Small groups can be commissioned where shared needs are best explored with peers. Content may include identity, relationships, safer choices, communication, teamwork, transitions, confidence and community awareness. Group size, staffing and outcomes are agreed before delivery.
DICE can deliver agreed workshops for young people, parents, carers, education staff and professional teams. Themes are tailored to the audience and may include engagement, confidence, communication, boundaries, wellbeing, identity, culture and supporting young people through challenge.
Our Vision is to help them find and see the value in themselves.
We believe that physical fitness is vital for young men and women. When the young people join us, they will partake in a fun fitness program, which is both challenging and enjoyable.
We help young people improve their health and wellbeing rather than focusing on just a balanced diet and the importance of exercise. We also educate them on smoking, drugs and alcohol too.
Here at Dice Mentoring we want to share the importance of having a quality night time sleep, which ensures full daytime alertness. We teach some tips and techniques to having a great sleep each night.
Here at Dice Mentoring we deal with students of all academic levels, including those who may have physical or learning difficulties. As we try to make academic learning fun, most of our teaching is completed through games, sport and physical activities.
We believe in building structure and discipline into our young people using our knowledge of health, fitness and psychology. Giving them a clear understanding of good discipline and acceptable behaviour will prepare them for college, work and life in general.
Here at Dice Mentoring we provide small tests for individuals that cover a range of criteria’s and enable students to pass and gain their certificates. Our teaching styles are very hands-on and active, mostly through team sports as we feel this enhances better communication skills.
