We founded the 360 Skills For Life social enterprise to ensure every young person is prepared for life, not just exams. We will build on our collective experience of skills for life education, and the the support of our partners, with ambitious plans to expand our provision for young people.
In addition to new topics and age groups, our ambition is to scale up in the following ways:
"360 gives children the tools and confidence they will need to make positive decisions in everyday life."
“I like the 360 commitment to anytime, anywhere access, which is particularly relevant now.”
"The online approach, coupled with strong partnerships for face to face delivery as well, makes this concept invaluable."
"A user-friendly resource that offers scope to move away from didactic teaching and to explore ‘real life’ challenges and potential consequences."
“Yeah I like the way you can walk around the whole city and it’s not limited to one thing and after you finish the missions you can walk around and do what you like."
"360 will allow individual agencies to combine their good work and raise the bar in delivery of safety and wellbeing interventions.”
“It’s very fun because there are multiple choices and based on your options it can go a different way.”
"360 gives access to a whole learning environment in a cost effective way which Local Government should support."
“I like it because it teaches you lessons with having fun doing it.”
"Situations and scenarios are up to date. The product really does appeal to young people and is very user friendly."
“It’s like a game and you have pick the right decisions in real life situations but it’s fun at the same time.”
"The 360 platform enables teachers and leaders to engage young people and to highlight scenarios in a safe environment."
'The missions were so useful because they helped us make good decisions.'
"Given the pandemic, equipping young people to be independent critical thinkers with the confidence to respond to situations in everyday life is even more vital."
'360 is really cool. It is super realistic and helps me to understand what to do when something like happens in real life.'
“The platform provides teaching staff with an opportunity to address challenging safeguarding issues with pupils in a safe environment and to open up discussions on difficult topics that equip learners with critical information on how to keep safe.”
'We didn't have a clue how to play at first, but then we showed our teacher what to do! It was lots of fun!'
"By young people working through scenarios that could be affecting their lives, it helps to improve their understanding of potential risks, consequences and ...decision making to enable them to make choices to keep safe and well".
'A child asked if we could do 360 again as soon as he came in the next morning, highlighting just how much the programme motivates P7 boys in particular.'
