The TANOY Model
Five pillars. One pathway. From the street to the scholar's seat.
Five connected areas of support. One pathway towards safer, more independent futures.
Children and young people rarely face one challenge in isolation. Safety, family relationships, education, wellbeing, skills and participation are connected - and support should be connected too.
The TANOY Model brings together five areas of support that S2S aims to develop across its work with street-connected children and disadvantaged young people. The emphasis will vary depending on each person’s age, circumstances, strengths, and needs.
Together
Family and community support
Children need safe, stable and supportive relationships. Together focuses on family engagement, community connection and safe-care planning, including family tracing, assessment for safe reunification, caregiver support and appropriate referrals.
Achieve
Education and learning progression
Achieve focuses on foundational literacy and numeracy, learning support, digital literacy and helping to access, return to or remain engaged in education.
Nuture
Health, wellbeing and protective support
Nurture focuses on health education, wellbeing check-ins, protective support and referral to qualified services where appropriate. Any counselling or therapeutic support will be subject to qualified provision and agreed safeguarding arrangements.
Overcome
Skills, livelihoods and progression
Overcome focuses on practical, digital, vocational and employability skills, alongside enterprise education, financial capability and pathways towards further training, work or self-employment.
Youth Leadership
Voice, participation and leadership
Youth Leadership creates age-appropriate opportunities for young people to develop confidence, communication, teamwork, participation and leadership.
TANOY and Triple-A
TANOY describes what kinds of support are connected.
The Triple-A Pathway describes how support is adapted over time:
ACHIEVE → ASPIRE → ACCELERATE
Together, the two frameworks support an age- and needs-informed journey from crisis towards safety, learning, wellbeing, skills and greater independence.
