We're pleased to inform you that new resources to support our Towards Independence programme are now available to download.
Designed for learners working towards Entry level 1 and upwards, Towards Independence provides a framework of activities to develop and accredit personal, social, work-related and independent living skills.
With over 80 modules, the programme offers formal recognition for small steps of personal achievement towards individual goals for adults and learners preparing for adulthood.
