Empowering disadvantaged children and families to become change agents
Be The Change
We help educators empower children and families to overcome poverty.
Is childhood poverty costing your Local Authority?
Are children from deprived areas suffering because of low educational outcomes?
Are these children likely to under achieve in adult life because of limited employment skills?
Are your schools equipped to help these children to be change agents?
Are parents in your community being trained for self-leadership to break the cycle of deprivation?
Could even better leadership in schools and homes lead to improved outcomes for families?
Work with us to transform the lives of children and their families in disadvantaged communities.

Levelling Up Your Schools and Community with Life Readiness Leadership
Empowering Educators and Changing Perspectives
The Leader in Me offers an evidence-based process that transforms the mindset of educators, particularly in high deprivation communities. By providing tools and resources, it enables teachers and headteachers to view disadvantaged children through a lens of capability and resilience, rather than seeing them solely as struggling with a challenging start in life. This paradigm shift empowers educators to treat these children differently, fostering a positive impact on the children's responses and, ultimately, their life outcomes.
Tools for Teachers, Parents, and Students
Headteachers, teachers, and parents are equipped with the tools and resources to instill effective mindsets and skillsets in vulnerable children. The 7 Habits serve as a catalyst for empowering children to become agents of change in their lives. The Leader in Me model facilitates a culture of empowerment and release within schools, where teachers cascade this approach to their pupils, fostering a culture of self-leadership.
Local Authority Empowerment and Certification
Leader in Me empowers Local Authorities by certifying staff to implement transformative changes. Family support workers, trained in the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families, empower vulnerable parents to take responsibility for their lives, seek education, and pursue employment. Teen workers, similarly certified, assist excluded adolescents in taking steps toward self-development and returning to education.
Educational Experience & Community Impact
Teachers, through training and coaching, model and teach the 7 Habits to pupils, embedding these principles within schools' traditions, systems, and culture. Goal setting, data tracking, and personal accountability systems empower pupils to measure their own progress. The Leader in Me creates a holistic educational experience, fostering a common language and inclusive culture within schools and the broader community.
Local Authority Guidance for Breakthrough Outcomes
Local Authorities receive comprehensive support, ensuring success and achieving desired educational outcomes on a larger scale. This approach not only results in significant cost savings for Local Authorities overseeing multiple schools but also has a meaningful impact. By empowering vulnerable children to become proactive change agents, the program breaks the cycle of deprivation, positively influencing not only their life outcomes but also those of the next generation, thereby creating a lasting impact on the community.
How To Leverage The Programme
Leader in Me provides a mindset and the necessary tools that empower staff and pupils to take charge of their own mental health, nurture character, strengthen resilience and enable independence so every pupil is a leader.
