Frequently Ask Questions

Ideally you should have just turned 15 but if you have any queries on this topic, please call us.

Please call us immediately as we will have to discuss how you can start the Stepladder in the time available as every case will be different so we need to talk to you. It may not be possible for you to complete all six steps.

Call the Programme Coordinator between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday on 01296 310400 or email info@sharefound.org 

The Stepladder steps are designed so that you may retake each step, with the exception of Step 6.  If you find that you cannot complete them please call us to discuss.

Please send us an email explaining which step it is, how many times you have retaken it and why you don’t agree with the result.  This will be reviewed by the Stepladder Programme Co-ordinator and you can expect a response in 21 days.  The Stepladder Programme Co-ordinator will refer more complex matters to the Director of Operations.  You may appeal against decisions taken by members of staff by asking the Director of Operations to refer the matter to The Share Foundation’s Chairman of Trustees who will make the final decision.

You can call us Monday - Friday during daily working hours 9 - 5pm, and you will potentially have a range of people around you who may be able to help such as  teachers, social worker, foster parents , support worker, a mentor assigned to you by The Share Foundation – or any significant adult in your life who has your best interests at heart.
