We offer practical, non-clinical mentoring, life skills and community support for children and young people of all genders. Participant information is collected through an agreed private process. Before any session can begin, the relevant screening, insurance, training and practical safety arrangements must be in place.
Taking part should feel respectful and manageable. Young people can ask questions, suggest ideas, ask for help or take an agreed break. Nobody has to share private experiences or agree to photos or marketing to join in.
Before a booking, we talk with the young person and relevant adults about communication, access, culture and support. A diagnosis does not decide fit on its own. If we cannot provide the support safely, we will explain that and talk through another approach.
Adults and settings
For individual support, a parent or carer joins the first meeting. A responsible adult must be present throughout home sessions. Community sessions may be one-to-one without a parent present where suitability, consent, handover and safety arrangements have been agreed.
We do not transport participants in a personal vehicle. Mentoring is not therapy, specialist behaviour support, emergency care or an open-ended childcare arrangement. Any community activity needs advance agreement. Recreational swimming takes place at supervised pools, with an agreed plan for suitability, consent, supervision and emergencies. Open-water swimming, swimming lessons and specialist climbing are outside the selected scope; ordinary playground equipment is considered separately for suitability.
You can raise a concern with Their Path Youth Services or another trusted adult. The Feedback and complaints page explains alternative routes for concerns about the facilitator, business owner or person handling the complaint. If someone might be unsafe, information may need to be shared with people who can help.
For children and young people
You can ask what will happen and help choose how you take part. You can say if something is too hard, uncomfortable or worrying. You can ask for help or an agreed break. You do not have to tell a personal story or be in a photo.
If something worries you, tell the facilitator or another adult you trust. If it is about the facilitator or business owner, you can go straight to another trusted adult. Adults should listen and help. If someone may be unsafe, we may need to tell people who can help keep them safe.
