About us

Recognition for what

we do...

In 2017 Innovate Dorset was awarded the APS 'Approved Provider Standard.' The Approved Provider Standard is a national quality mark designed specifically for mentoring and befriending projects. Achieving the standard demonstrates that the project met the 10 requirements of the standard, and was independently assessed by experts in good practice in mentoring and befriending.

Everything starts with a conversation

Regardless of a situation or factors that make a conversation challenging to have! Our mentors start at the beginning, and nobody knows and understands their child better than Parents.

So often a rich source of knowledge overlooked when trying to create a holistic package. Innovate will take the time where possible to meet with parents and listen.

These conversations are not about blame or taking sides, but about what is best for the child or young person, and so often these conversations are a valued source of information helping parents feel connected with what is happening around they're child.

Many children and young people who are mentored by a positive role model have found to become less disruptive and more able to re-engage with education, with young people themselves highlighting the value of friendship, trust, guidance and encouragement of the Mentor.
