For older young people

October 2026

Ten new sheets for older young people, made to be filled in alone or together.

Quiet, grown-up pages on voice, feelings, worries, safety, relationships, journey and control. Each is a single side with a handful of open questions and plenty of room to write, and each says plainly that it can be filled in alone or with a trusted adult. Made to be printed and worked through together in the room, or left with a young person to do in their own time.

From the founder
I made the worksheets free because I don’t think a social worker should have to think about whether they can afford a resource before using it with a child. If something can help somebody start a conversation with a child, I would rather it was being used.
