Please call us we will discuss how you can start the Stepladder Programme in the time available. It may not be possible for you to complete all six steps.

The Stepladder steps are designed so that you may retake each step.  If you find that you cannot complete a step please call us so we can see how best to help you.

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 Manager and you can expect a response in 21 days.  The Stepladder Programme Manager 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, 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.
