Skills 4 Life Service Day Opportunities 2023

Based in Wat Tyler Country Park, BOSP’s educational Skills 4 Life service consists of age and need appropriate group activities that take place during the week for young people aged 16 to 25, who have additional needs. Our small groups and high level of support ensures the young people grow in confidence and independence.

Meal planning, shopping, preparing and serving
Gardening and basic DIY
Drama and dance
Travel training
Woodland/forestry skills
Budgeting and money handling
Personal and home-care
Social and communication skills
Quizzes, games, films and music
Sports including trampolining, swimming, cycling/triking etc.
Theme parks, zoos and City visits

Residential holiday opportunity
Volunteering
Opportunities to gain a formal qualification

AET Framework

Skills 4 Life also follows the AET Progression Framework which is designed to support staff in identifying a young person’s learning priorities and measure progression throughout each term. The content of the Progression Framework aims to address skills and understanding that our young people may find challenging due to their additional needs. It is flexible and adaptable to each young person’s strengths and developmental areas.

Please see the posters below for more information about our Skills 4 Life Service.

As with all BOSP Services, we very quickly get over subscribed, so do please get in touch with The BOSP Office on 01268 553117 or email [email protected] if you are interested in your young person attending and would like to know session fees..

NB. Transition - We recommend that you start to consider transition to post 18 services when your young person reaches 15/16 years of age due to the lengthy assessment/social care process.
