Did you know that LifeSkills also offers content for those who may need additional or specialised support?
Use the content guide to easily identify a selection of tailored resources, developed in collaboration with expert partners, young people and educators, to help learners who need additional support to overcome barriers and be prepared for their future. Specifically:
- Financial capability resources for care leavers, developed as part of our pledge to the Care Leavers Covenant

You can also find information about other types of adapted resources, including content for adult learners, guidance to support your careers strategy and quick-fire activities for shorter sessions and form time.
