I’m A Parent or Carer

At One-Eighty, we work alongside families to support children and young people before challenges escalate.

One-Eighty has been working with young people aged 4–17 across Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire for 15 years. We support young people in a number of different ways, depending on what they need and what will help most.

If we’re working with your young person on a one-to-one basis, it can look like this:

We’ll meet your young person twice a week.
We’ll see you once a week, too, as you’re the person who knows your young person best.
All our support is tailored. There is no “one size fits all” approach.
You’ll be involved, informed, and supported every step of the way.

We’ll visit your young person at home, in school, or in the community, depending on where works best for them.
We work closely with schools and other professionals who know your young person.
We’ll help by sharing practical tools and strategies that you can use at home. We’ll also share these with your young person’s school so that they can keep things consistent.

Our Testimonials

This project has helped my daughter mix with other children. She is still shy and anxious, but the experience has helped build her confidence.

Summer Project Pupils

The highlight of my summer was feeling proud of myself for going on the trips and using my voice to ask new adults for help and make friends. I feel much more confident for secondary school and how to approach adults if I need to.

Summer Project Pupils

If it wasn’t for One-Eighty I truly believe he still wouldn’t be attending school. His future is now bright.

Carer

Lots of people have been using the worry box and we like checking this during break times. It helps people to feel more comfortable talking about their feelings and making it more normal.

Mental Health Ambassadors

Year 6

Year 5

I used the hand breathing when I felt nervous and it helped me to feel calmer.

Year 3

My parents are getting a divorce, Kick Start has been the only thing to make me feel happy and want to go to school.

Year 4

I don’t know where we would have turned without One-Eighty, there is no alternative, no other options, there would have been no support.

Headteacher of a Partnership School

One-Eighty were able to make progress with a student that had not been in education for three years. They were able to make progress and hand over the student in a more positive position than when they started.
