Members in each age range gained the 'THINK' Programme certification for participation in group work. Quarterly moderation reports by the EA have recognized our work as outstandlng and Good in many areas including outcomes for learners, quality of provision and leadership and management. "The organisation has designed a model of delivery well matched to the needs of the young people, whlch they assess regularly and comprehensively Their 'THINK' programme also correlates closely to the entire Funding Opportunity for the area and is reflective of the moderation theme and focus. THINK- Is it true? Helpful? Inspiring? Necessary? Kind? encourages critical thinking and independence in the young people and the model themes eg. Think Inclusion, Think Nl etc are reflected in the programmes delivered and in the ethos of the provision. Young people are heavily involved in co-design with the ambassador's programme and regular contributions via surveys and focus groups. Programmes are differentiated to meet the broad needs of the young people. Different methods of outreach and detached are utilised throughout the year and 'new' young people are qulck to participate in provision. The scope of the curriculum is broad and varied and CRED is evident at many levels-new posters, designed internally, link the young people to CRED and inclusion themes, diverslty of membership is celebrated and encouraged-LGBTQ young people, BME young people and those from a range of religious backgrounds and with a range of abilities all participating on the night of the moderation."
