Vulnerable Young
People's
Advisory

At VYPA, we transform how organisations support vulnerable young people. Founded by Tom Goodenough – a former headteacher with over 20 years of experience across education, public health, social care and criminal justice – we help you break down silos and build joined-up approaches that tackle inequality, disadvantage and social exclusion.

​

From trauma-informed systems and cultural transformation to violence prevention, alternative provision and multi-agency strategies, we turn policy into practical change that protects young lives. Our partnerships span education, health, policing, SEND, social care and community enterprise, helping organisations to deliver real impact where it matters most.
