Understanding our approach to care
Trauma-informed care recognizes the impact of adverse childhood experiences and creates environments that promote safety, trust, and healing. Our staff are trained to understand trauma responses, use therapeutic approaches, and provide consistent, predictable care that helps young people feel safe and supported.
We work closely with schools, colleges, and education providers to ensure young people receive appropriate education. This includes attending PEP meetings, supporting homework, advocating for appropriate provisions, and working with designated teachers. We support mainstream, special school, and alternative education placements.
Yes, we facilitate family contact in accordance with care plans and court orders. Contact can include visits, phone calls, video calls, and letters. We provide support before, during, and after contact to help young people process their experiences. All contact is risk-assessed to ensure safety.
Our care is inherently therapeutic, with trained staff providing relationship-based support daily. We also work with external therapists including CAMHS, providing life story work, and using evidence-based interventions. Each young person's therapeutic needs are assessed and met through their individual care plan.
