FAQS

Services

How does Can’t Face School operate?

We offer a Free Consultation for 15 mins which gives you a chance to describe your situation to us, and give us a chance to see how we can help you.

We have an Initial Consultation which must be completed prior to having an action plan session. This consultation goes for 1 hour, then afterwards a list of detailed suggestions and next steps to assist you will be shared. 

We have an offering of single 1 hour consultations for re-engaging into school planning. These can be booked at any time from the website under ‘Action Planning’ sessions.

We know that this work can take a bit of time, so we also offer individual packages of 10 / 15 / 20 hours which will usually stretch over the course of 3 months. This gives us time to follow up on our suggestions and next steps. This also allows us to build relationships and trust with schools, parents, other professionals and young people.
