**Introduction**
DevonPathways support students who are at risk of exclusion or have been excluded from their place of education. This often leads to the feeling of exclusion from society. DevonPathways provides 1-2-1 mentoring and support tutoring. We work with Young People on which ever path they find themselves and provide support and guidance through relational learning to help them access a future pathway that allows them to fulfil their potential and develop transferable skills to take into adulthood.
**Definition**
“Mentoring is a process where a more experienced person consciously enters into a relationship with a less experienced person (who also willingly engages in that relationship) which aims to develop the less experienced partner in an agreed way. The relationship should be supportive, safe and have clear boundaries. Part of the boundaries should include an agreed time scale; an agreed way of working together; and conscious positive modelling by the mentor”
**Mentoring Process**
A young person is referred to DevonPathways by a school or agency. A representative of DevonPathways will then meet the referring school or agency as well as the young person and their parents or carers. From these initial solution focused meetings, we agree a plan of education and targets and allocate a best fit mentor.
Agreements between the school, parents and young person are made where sessions will take place. It may be in school, but in most cases, it will be in safe and appropriate locations in the community where the young person lives. This may be a library, youth centre, church hall - for example. A further alternative setting may be DevonPathways farm and forest school situated just outside of Broadwood Kelly, Winkleigh.

To support individual young people through a process of mentoring and education.
