At Dallaglio RugbyWorks we work with teenagers that for a variety of reasons, who find themselves excluded from mainstream education and so reducing their life chances. Through an intensive long term skills development programme based on rugby, we go into the Alternative Provision on a weekly basis, working with the young people over a period of three years with the aim to get them into sustained Employment,Education or Training. Government stats currently indicate that only 1.4% of young people in Alternative Provision achieve 5 GCSEs (including Maths & Eng) compared to 53% in mainstream. Failure to improve outcomes for this population segment comes at a high societal cost: a staggering 80% of young people in the criminal justice system were excluded from school. But, our programme, RugbyWorks is making a difference to these young people. See how: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhwZqnnHaUU&feature=youtu.be or visit www.dallagliorugbyworks.com
