Our Programmes

Our three-tier pathway of creative support

EdShift supports children across a continuum of need, from connection and safety resources to early intervention and specialist therapy.

Why Our Pathway Matters

Every child’s experience is different. Some need connection and practical tools. Others need early intervention or specialist therapy. Children should not have to retell painful experiences before they get the right support. EdShift’s pathway helps our team work consistently around each child, so support can move with them as their needs change.

Where appropriate, we work with safe parents and carers so support continues beyond each session.

Our three-tier pathway

Tier 1: Connection and safety resources

For children who need light-touch support, peer connection, reassurance, or practical tools.

Tier 2: Creative early intervention

For children who would benefit from structured creative support before needs become more complex.

Tier 3: Specialist therapeutic support

For children who need deeper, more sustained therapeutic intervention.
