Making life skills visible — without changing delivery.
WeCanAccess LIFE™ exists to address a systemic gap: life skills are developed through participation in everyday activity, but are rarely recognised in a way that is consistent, portable or trusted.
Participation isn’t the problem — recognition is. WeCanAccess LIFE™ sits between delivery and decision-making, making individual capability visible and portable.
WeCanAccess LIFE™ captures individual capability developed through everyday activity, including transferable skills, behaviours, confidence, emerging leadership and progression over time.
WeCanAccess LIFE™ is a recognition, assessment and licensing layer that turns participation — sport, creative activity and community projects — into credible, reportable evidence of transferable life skills.
What this focuses on
- Recognising transferable life skills developed through participation.
- Sitting alongside existing delivery, without changing how organisations operate.
- Providing a structured way to evidence progression and report outcomes.
What this does not attempt to be
- A delivery organisation or programme provider.
- A technical performance or proficiency assessment.
- A replacement for existing qualification systems or vocational certification frameworks.
Where recognised qualifications are used, they sit within the wider recognition infrastructure rather than defining it.
Organisations continue to deliver what they already do. WeCanAccess LIFE™ provides the recognition layer that makes resulting capability visible, comparable and communicable to funders and partners.
The framework and licensing model are established and designed for replication, with limited real-world implementation underway to validate recognition, governance and data capture in live settings.
WeCanAccess LIFE™ has been developed by educators and practitioners with experience across inclusion, alternative education and skills recognition, working closely with partner organisations to ensure the system reflects real-world delivery rather than theoretical models.
We are open to working with organisations, funders and system partners who are exploring clearer, fairer ways to recognise life skills developed through participation.
