Switch Midlands – #poweringpotential

Social & Emotional Learning

Our support impacts children and young people by focussing on developing relationships, self-confidence, self-efficacy, communication skills, positive mind-set and attitude.

Evidence Based

We understand the importance of partnerships to gain insight into what topics matter most to pupils, families and schools. We have worked with partners such as University of Birmingham, University of Wolverhampton and schools throughout the region to develop our service.

Building Relationships

Our approach is values-based, placing emphasis on the strength and safety of building, repairing and maintaining positive relationships with pupils, schools and families.
