We are taking measures to ensure that the wellbeing of all employees, students
and suppliers is paramount during this global pandemic. Official guidance from
WHO and PHE is being monitored to ensure compliance and appropriate responses.
All staff have been fully briefed with regard to appropriate practices to ensure
the spread of the virus is minimised. By maintaining rigorous cleanliness and
hygiene standards across all of our sites we aim to minimise the spread of the
virus. Full Risk Assessments have been adopted and we are working with
customers, families, carers and other third parties to ensure appropriate
management of our practices and procedures. Flexible, engaging and fully
supported vocational day provision for young adults 16-24 and adults 25+ with
mild to moderate learning difficulties/disabilities, brain injuries, autism
and/or mental health located in Great Barr and Tamworth. Since 1996 we have
recognised that adults who learn differently can enjoy increased independence,
improved wellbeing and greater life choices through our vocational learning
provision. The cut-backs in free education courses through colleges has
necessitated an alternative approach which led to the establishment of Community
Prospects. We felt that it was crucial that the continued funding changes should
not take away the significant progress that we had seen in 100’s of students
since 1996. Creating Bird Boxes For The Wildlife Trust "Creating bird boxes for
