We believe that community engagement is not a “nice to have” – it is central to our mission of preparing learners for adulthood, independence, and, where possible, employment.

Our aim is to build meaningful, sustainable relationships with community groups, educational partners and employers that create real opportunities for learners with SEND within and out of education.

• Collaboration with other education partners ensures pathways and curriculum are joined up and sustainable, especially through transition points.
• Employers and community partners benefit from engaging with us, as this breaks down barriers, highlighting the unique talents and skills of our learners and building inclusive communities and workplaces, strengthening reputations.

We’ll measure how successful our community engagement is not by the number of partnerships, but by the quality of opportunities they create for learners. Our intention is that Creating Tomorrow becomes a valued partner embedded in the local economy and community.

Working with our key stakeholders, our core objectives are to:

• Raise Awareness – Increase understanding of SEND and showcase learners’ strengths and potential.
• Develop Partnerships – Build mutual beneficial relationships with employers, community organisations and education partners.
• Create Pathways – Establish opportunities for learners within and outside of education.
• Strengthen Community Links – Work with local networks, charities, and groups to enhance inclusion.
• Celebrate Success – Share positive stories of impact for learners, employers, and the wider community.
