Post19 Review

Since my son has been going here his behaviour has improved so much hes so happy excited to go keeps asking is it time to go mum ma his self worth has improved he tells us hes going to work with all his friends the staff are outstanding really caring professional they have taken the time to do activities that my son will enjoy and bring out the best in him I really have so much praise for post nineteen

Amazing place and people, love the atmosphere created :)

Our son has attended Post19 for the past 5 years since moving on from special needs schooling and we have to say his experience has been one of the best periods of his challenging young life with autism. It is down to the proactive, enthusiastic and engaging attitude of the staff which has enabled our son to partake in activities and life skills he otherwise wouldn't. A really important feature of Post19, which we have found hugely valuable, is that Post19 partners closely with parents, meaning we work together very effectively to resolve issues and strive for the best experiences and outcomes for our son. In summary great people that care, providing a very special service in our experience.
Here's the punchline; my son doesn't talk so can't tell us what he thinks, but we know he loves Post19 as he jumps out of bed every day to get ready to go, something he would rarely do in previous settings.

I'm both an employee and relative of someone who accesses this service.

Firstly, as an employee of post 19's for the last 4 years, all I can say is what a breath of fresh air this place is! I came here fatigued working in both social care and SEN. I was very frustrated by the limitations imposed both on myself and indeed the clients I was supporting. I'm proud to say with the positive, forward thinking and proactive nature of this place I've been a part of something amazing. I've seen people who weren't in the best place absolutely thrive at post 19 and its been the most rewarding experience of my life so far.

Secondly, my brother followed me here as I heavily recommended it. He was extremely socially isolated. Now he's unrecognisable. He accesses such a wide range of activities now which is a far cry from his past. He also has such a wonderful banter with all the staff. Myself and my whole family are so very grateful to this place. If I could give it 6 stars, I would :)

Shockingly remained open during tier restrictions and lockdowns while all similar services were closed . Business for profit indeed and inequality at the workplace

Definitely not impressed by this place, my poor grandson had the misfortune of going there. Thankfully , he has moved to greener pastures, and has returned to his happy self.
