OTAS

Make a Referral

A supportive first step toward practical, nature-based learning for young people across Merseyside and Lancashire.

The process

How referrals work

We work with schools, local authorities, virtual schools and partner professionals to understand each young person’s strengths, needs and goals.

Share the essentials

Tell us about the young person, their current education setting and the support you are seeking.

Plan together

We will discuss interests, learning needs and the most suitable OTAS provision.

Agree next steps

We will confirm availability, practical arrangements and a clear start plan with the referring team.

Stay connected

We keep communication open so support can adapt as the young person progresses.
