Toucan Group of People

Our Core Services

At Toucan Education, we provide a wide range of specialist education and support services designed to help learners, schools, and workplaces thrive. Our expertise spans alternative provision, dyslexia assessments, training for educators and businesses, and tailored oversight for local authorities. We understand that every learner and professional is unique, which is why our approach is always flexible, practical, and focused on individual success.

Flexi-Schooling & Alternative Provision

Our flexi-schooling and alternative provision give students access to high-quality education outside of traditional settings. Whether they need a part-time learning schedule or a fully supported alternative education environment, we offer structured learning opportunities that foster confidence and academic progress. Our three learning hubs—Hub 1, Hub 2, and our Forest School—provide safe and engaging spaces where students can develop skills in ways that suit their needs

Dyslexia & Specialist Assessments

We offer comprehensive dyslexia assessments, conducted by qualified specialists, to help individuals understand their learning profile and access the right support. Whether for a child struggling with literacy or an adult navigating workplace challenges, our assessments provide a clear diagnosis and practical recommendations for learning strategies, exam accommodations, and ongoing support.

Toucan Workplace needs assessments

Workplace Needs Assessments

Our workplace needs assessments support employers and employees to create inclusive, accessible and effective working environments. Delivered by experienced specialists, each assessment explores individual strengths, challenges and job demands to identify practical and reasonable adjustments. We provide clear, tailored recommendations that support performance, wellbeing and confidence at work. Our approach ensures neurodivergent employees are equipped with the right tools, strategies and understanding to thrive in their role while supporting organisations to meet their legal and ethical responsibilities.

Workplace Services

Our workplace services provide practical support to organisations committed to building inclusive and neuro inclusive cultures. This includes specialist coaching, assistive technology guidance, manager training and organisational advice tailored to real workplace challenges. We work collaboratively with employers to embed adjustments and strengthen inclusive practice across teams.

Oversight & Consultancy for Schools & Local Authorities

For schools, academies, and local authorities, our oversight and consultancy services ensure that alternative education provision is managed effectively, and truly beneficial for the learners it serves. We work closely with education professionals to create tailored learning packages, support structuring, and provide expert guidance that simplifies complex education pathways.

Training for Educators & Businesses

Beyond direct support, we empower educators and businesses through expert training programs. Schools and teachers benefit from our SEND and dyslexia training, which equips them with strategies to create inclusive learning environments. In the workplace, our neurodiversity and inclusion training helps employers support individuals with learning differences, ensuring accessibility and productivity.
