We firmly believe that residential care should never be considered a last resort for young people. Our block contract and spot purchase children’s homes offer invaluable experiences to our residents, thanks to our highly skilled staff’s expertise, therapeutic support, and compassionate approach.
We place a strong emphasis on empowering the children and young people in our care. They have the opportunity to voice their preferences in decorating their bedrooms, setting house rules, and choosing weekly menus. By involving them in decision-making processes that directly impact their lives, we foster a sense of ownership and belonging, encouraging positive engagement with our staff.
Our children’s care homes are designed to accommodate between one and eight young individuals aged up to 18 years old. We welcome both planned and emergency referrals, and we also operate a secure care home and a specialised facility for girls at risk of exploitation.
Our care homes are strategically placed to allow young people to maintain vital community links in the region. Instead of sending them away to unfamiliar cities and towns across the UK, we ensure they stay connected to their familiar surroundings, enhancing their sense of belonging and support.
Role modelling & positive relationships
We prioritize actively listening to and supporting young people in every step of their journey towards achieving their goals and fulfilling their dreams and aspirations. Our dedicated team consists of compassionate and appropriate role models who possess valuable experience and thorough training to deliver exceptional service.
We understand the significance of “outcomes” for young people, and we ensure their development through a thoughtful approach that involves providing choices, engaging in meaningful activities, and establishing consistent boundaries. By empowering them with choices, we encourage autonomy and self-determination. Meaningful activities are designed to promote growth and skill development, while consistent boundaries create a safe and secure environment for their well-being.
Independence & Equal opportunities
Empowering young people with choices allows them to have a say in their lives, fostering a sense of responsibility and ownership. Engaging in meaningful activities helps them develop new skills and interests, boosting their confidence and self-esteem. Our commitment to maintaining consistent boundaries ensures a safe and structured space for them to flourish and reach their potential.
We understand that each young person is unique, and we tailor our support to meet their individual needs, aspirations, and ambitions. By working together with them and their families, we aim to pave the way for a bright and promising future, full of opportunities and achievements.
Promoting Positive Behaviour
We believe that praise and recognition for positive actions are essential in reinforcing and encouraging desirable behavior. By acknowledging their efforts and achievements, we boost their confidence and sense of accomplishment, promoting a positive outlook on their actions and choices.
At the same time, we provide a structured environment with routines and clear boundaries. These boundaries help young people understand expectations and consequences, promoting a sense of safety and security. By having a consistent framework, they can better navigate their actions and choices, leading to more positive outcomes.
Person Centred care
One of our key objectives is to empower the young people under our care to develop essential independent living skills, preparing them for a successful transition into adulthood. We believe that by equipping them with the necessary tools and knowledge, they can confidently navigate the challenges of life on their own terms.
For those young individuals who may not be fully ready to live independently when they reach the age of 18, we offer a seamless transition to our supported living services for adults. This ensures a continuum of care and support, helping them to continue their journey towards independence with the same level of dedication and understanding they have come to expect from us.
Community Provider
Our approach involves encouraging service users to explore activities that could lead to gaining new skills, qualifications, and employment opportunities. Whether it’s pursuing vocational training, educational courses, or volunteering experiences, we support and guide them in their journey towards personal growth and development.
Moreover, we recognize the importance of nurturing their interests and hobbies. By supporting them in pursuing their passions, we aim to enhance their overall well-being and happiness. Whether it’s artistic pursuits, sports, or other hobbies, we provide the necessary resources and encouragement to help them flourish.
Our ultimate goal is to empower young adults to become active and contributing members of their community. By fostering a sense of belonging and social integration, we hope to instill in them a positive outlook on life and a strong foundation for a fulfilling future.
