Welcome to Positive Steps Oldham

Positive Steps Oldham (PSO) is an independent sector company providing an integrated range of services, including Connexions, Oldham Youth Offending Service and Oldham Drugs and Alcohol Action Team.

PSO's mission is to enable young people across Oldham to make a successful transition into adult life and fulfil their potential.

Its integrated approach recognises that young people may face a number of interconnected barriers to attainment. These could include family or relationship issues, health problems or offending behaviour.

Partnership working is central to this approach. In addition to the services we directly deliver, PSO also hosts the strategic management of a number of Borough-wide initiatives such as Oldham Drugs and Alcohol Action Team and Oldham Teenage Pregnancy Partnership.
