Life at our residential homes

Each child enjoys their own personal development plans in conjunction with stimulating group activities as part of their life at the homes. We have systems and checks in place to ensure every child receives the highest quality of personalised care.

Personal care plans

Each child has a personalised care plan and an individual therapeutic plan to support his or her personal development. We draw on an extensive skills-base to meet the particular care needs of every child. By providing a dedicated team of staff in conjunction with visiting specialists, we develop the right therapeutic care plan for every child.

Educational attainment

Each child receives our full support to return to mainstream schooling. Working in partnership with local schools, we provide assistance in the classroom and guidance to teachers. Each child is kept on top of schoolwork through private tuition and personal education plans.

Group activities

Children are encouraged to engage in regular outdoor sports and pursuits at the homes. By keeping children fit and active, we improve their physical health and relieve emotional anxiety. Each home has group programmes to improve the social skills of each child.

Quality checks

The care we provide meets very high standards. We employ highly qualified, specialist staff. Each individual programme is subject to regular formal and weekly informal reviews.

More than 80% of our children perform well in mainstream schools

By individual in-house education and a slow progression to mainstream school, the majority of our young people have returned to mainstream education
