We work collaboratively with communities to enable children and young people with social, emotional, and mental health needs to unlock their full potential.
In the 2023 / 2024 school year, Unlocking Potential supported over 3000 children in 32 schools, across 10 London Boroughs.
We ensure that all members of the community feel that they have a voice and that they are genuinely listened to. We recognise that we can only provide transformational opportunities for children and young people if they know that we care about them and believe in their potential to succeed.
We do not label or stigmatise. We rigorously assess needs from all possible angles and then put strategies in place which will be responsive to the unique needs of the child, young person or family.
Safeguarding is an absolute priority for us and we ensure that all of our colleagues and partners put the safety and wellbeing of children and young people first. We have a strong culture of safeguarding across all areas of our work, and empower young people to understand how to be safe.
We are determined to find solutions which ensure that children, young people and members of the community can take ownership of their own progress. We don’t allow for a culture of dependency and believe that the success of our work lies in children and young people becoming selfreliant and independent from us.
We have a rigorous evaluation process, which involves quality assurance by the executive team, the board of trustees and external partners on a routine basis. We have a culture of constantly questioning whether our work is having a transformational impact on children and young people. We closely monitor all aspects of our work to ensure that we are delivering value for money.
We believe in complete transparency in all aspects of our work and openly share our targets and impact with all stakeholders. We are not afraid to say if something isn’t working and are quick to adapt our practice if necessary. We have clear lines of accountability and strong performance management processes in place.
