Children’s Residential Services

We care for children and young people who present complex needs, learning disabilities and who require emotional and behavioural support.

The philosophy of care within our children's services reflects our deeply held belief that children have the right to be cared for in a stable, secure, and nurturing environment.

We provide a positive living experience for every child in placement. Our care is child-centred and trauma informed. The staff team demonstrate a solution-focused model of working, placing the child at the centre of the care they will receive.

We empower children to take control of their lives, and make decisions that will improve their outcomes and future.

Compassionate Children’s Care & Support Values

We develop empowering relationships, enabling all children to realise and reach their potential. We are courageous and honest in our approach – and deeply committed to children’s rights and participation.
We are committed towards doing the best for the children in our care, for ourselves and for others. Our sense of responsibility guides and informs our decisions and actions, and we always strive to find a positive way forward.
We are compassionate with others and ourselves, through empathy we aim to be understanding. We treat children, their families, and significant others with the dignity and respect they deserve.
We play and have fun, we are generous and welcoming of children who want to join in, collaborate and share with us. We use creative methods and shared activities to connect, explore and promote participation.
We are curious and questioning, we believe continuous learning and growth are fundamental to our wellbeing. We use theory and evidence to continuously inform and improve how we do things. We listen deeply and reflect together on our practice, so we can make changes that enable everyone to thrive.
