Big changes ahead!
You said, so we did…
Over the past two years we’ve been piloting our Discovery College offer for 16-25 year olds. During that time, we’ve gathered valuable feedback from our students, partners, professionals, carers, parents and members of the public about how the Discovery College has been working and whether we needed to make any changes to make it more suitable for our local population. We’ve taken some time to go over all of that feedback and we’ve really heard what you had to say to us, so…
Great news!!! From September 2024, anyone aged 16 or over will be able to attend our Recovery College offer (previously only for those aged 18 and over). This will enable our 16 and 17 year olds to attend a much larger variety of courses and workshops. It also means that should they wish to attend with a parent, carer, or just anyone else who is over the age of 25, they now can. To view and enrol on any of our Recovery College courses, head to our courses page. If you’re interested in what we have in place to ensure this works smoothly and everyone is safe when attending, please head to our FAQs section.
Over the coming months we will be working hard behind the scenes with other services that specifically support young people to re-develop a Discovery College offer for high-school aged children and young people. If you have any ideas of what you might want this offer to look like, or tips on what topics you think we should cover, please do get in touch at wakefielddiscoverycollege@swyt.nhs.uk.
