Why do you employ apprentices?

We are a children’s charity this is about our mission.

How do apprentices benefit your organisation?

As a result of their training, Beatbullying apprentices tend to be highly motivated and eager to learn and develop further. The investment and the responsibility given to them makes them feel valued and they end up highly skilled therefore easier to retain and contribute in the long term.”

Beatbullying’s young apprentices, some of whom others may label as disengaged, non academic or disadvantaged are excelling, they have money in their pocket, a plan for the future and route to some respect and hope.

The Beatbullying apprenticeship scheme is about investing in fairness, equality and the long-term future of staff.

What's the best advice you can pass on?

Outline of services

Beatbullying works with children and young people across the UK to provide them with all important opportunities to make positive and lasting changes to their lives and outlook. In particular, we work intensively with those so deeply affected by bullying that they can barely face going to school that next morning. We aim to make deep changes in attitude of those young people that bully, working with them to take responsibility and a sense of ownership over their actions, building foundations for change and improvement in their life chances and opportunities. For us, it's all about shaping attitudes and changing behaviours.

We do this through a range of programmes which have peer mentoring and peer activism at their heart.
