Barriers Remediation Outreach
Community-based interventions for social, emotional & cognitive hurdles.
A wraparound support programme that responds to the barriers identified during SIAS screening — from psycho-social stressors to specific cognitive scaffolding needs. Delivered through home visits, small-group sessions and referral partnerships.
Once SBST screening flags a learner, our outreach facilitators take over case management within five working days. Every learner receives an Individual Support Plan co-signed by their caregiver and class teacher.
Partnerships with the Department of Health, social workers and trauma-informed counsellors ensure barriers outside the classroom are addressed alongside academic remediation.
Evidence we hold ourselves to.
We share these metrics with every partner school and reflect them in quarterly reports to the District-Based Support Team.
