Let’s find the right support for your child or young person

Our Transitional Support Programme supports children and young people with SEND who are finding school life difficult, including those experiencing anxiety, Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA), or barriers linked to trauma and social or emotional needs.

​

In our calm, nature-rich outdoor spaces, we help children build trust, confidence and a sense of belonging at a pace that feels right for them. Our EBSA-trained team works closely with families and schools to support each child’s wellbeing and next steps in education, including a return to the classroom where appropriate.

Interested in our Transitional Support Programme? Whether you’re a parent, carer or professional, Emily can help you explore whether Wild Embers could be a good fit.
