Big Update: Pocket Keyworker Is Now for Every Young Person
We've expanded. Pocket Keyworker is now open to ALL young people — not just those in supported accommodation. Introducing the PK Hub, free access, and a new way to grow.
We've made a major change — and it's an important one.
Pocket Keyworker was originally designed to support looked-after children and care leavers.
But as we've grown, one thing became clear:
Every young person needs support with life skills, confidence, and real-life challenges.
So we've expanded.
Pocket Keyworker is now open to ALL young people.
What This Means
Young people can now:
- Sign up independently — no referrals needed
- Access support without barriers — just create an account
- Build confidence at their own pace — with content designed for them
- Learn real-life skills in a way that feels engaging and relevant
Whether they have a keyworker or not — support is now in their hands.
Introducing the PK Hub (Free Access)
We've also introduced the PK Hub — a free space designed for young people to explore and grow.
Inside the PK Hub:
- Engaging short-form content that feels familiar
- Life skills videos covering money, cooking, jobs, and more
- Interactive challenges to build confidence
- Quizzes and reflection tools for self-discovery
- Real-life resources that actually help
It's designed to feel familiar like social media — but focused on growth and development.
The PK Hub is tailored by age group:
- Ages 13-15: "Level Up" content covering confidence, emotions, friendships, school, and staying safe online
- Ages 16-18: "Life Skills" covering budgeting, cooking, daily routines, job hunting, and preparing for independence
Why This Matters
Support shouldn't be limited.
Not every young person has access to:
- A keyworker to guide them
- Structured support from services
- Guidance at the right time when they need it most
This update changes that.
Now, support is accessible anytime, anywhere.
Whether a young person is in care, living independently, or simply looking for help navigating life — Pocket Keyworker is here for them.
Still Supporting Professionals
We continue to support:
- Supported accommodation providers with Ofsted-ready tools
- Local authorities with oversight and compliance features
- Youth services with engagement and progress tracking
With tools for:
- Engagement tracking across your service
- Progress monitoring for every young person
- Structured keywork with built-in recording
Now with the added benefit of a platform young people already want to use.
The professional tier remains fully intact — this expansion adds a free layer alongside it, without changing anything for existing services.
What's Next
This is just the beginning. We're continuing to build features that make a real difference:
- More interactive content across all age groups
- Gamification and badges to keep young people engaged
- Expanded video library with curated, relevant content
- AI-powered guidance tailored to each young person's needs
We believe every young person deserves access to support that meets them where they are.
Pocket Keyworker is that support.
