ARC

We’re proud to be part of the Attachment Research Community (ARC), a national charity helping schools develop strong attachment‑ and trauma‑aware practice. Children make sense of themselves and the world through relationships. When trauma, neglect, separation or loss disrupt those early bonds, their sense of safety needs rebuilding before learning can happen. Being part of the ARC community keeps our approach evidence‑informed, reflective and connected to best practice across the country. It strengthens the way we support young people to feel safe, understood and ready to grow.

Paddle UK champions safe, sustainable paddling for everyone, supporting providers who put the wellbeing of their customers, their team and the environment first.

Partner FAQs.

Thinking about working with us? Here are the questions we hear most often from potential partners.

What kinds of organisations do you typically partner with?

We work with organisations that complement and strengthen what we offer our learners. That includes equine and outdoor education bodies, research and advocacy organisations, training providers, employers and community businesses. What matters most to us is shared values and a genuine commitment to improving outcomes for young people, not the size or sector of the organisation.

What does a typical partnership look like?

Every partnership is different. Some partners deliver qualifications or training directly to our learners. Others provide work experience placements, research collaboration or specialist expertise that enriches our provision. We're open to exploring what a partnership could look like based on what you do and where there's a genuine fit.

How do you protect the well-being of learners during partnership activities?

The safety and wellbeing of our learners is our absolute priority in everything we do. Before any partnership activity takes place, we work closely with the partner organisation to ensure the environment, approach and expectations are appropriate for our learners. All staff and partners who work with our young people are expected to understand and respect our trauma-informed approach.
