Our Aims & Objectives

These aims and objectives are supported through:

• The provision of a high standard of support within a stable environment as a medium within which to achieve the objectives and goals of young people we support.
• A policy of equal opportunities, including the consideration of positive action to ensure equality of opportunity where young people are experiencing difficulty engaging with or accessing our service because of a protected characteristic as defined by Chapter 1 Section 4, 2010 Equality Act
• Offering a wide range of activity opportunities to recognise and help fulfil the needs of the young people for legitimate excitement, adventure and the acquisition of developmental skills. To further promote the constructive use of leisure time through an individual activity program sourced by the young person.
• Assisting young people in developing the skills required for their safe interaction within the wider community and to assist them in establishing and developing appropriate social networks within the community
• Fully involving young people in their daily lives by their participation in a shared living experience
• Providing a homely and warm environment which steers away from an institutional model of care or support and which facilitates the learning of basic living skills
• Providing support with the recognition that young people require on-going support and the development of internal values as opposed to purely supplying and enforcing a set of abstract rules
• Providing a medium for the development of positive relationships with adults and peers to enable the development of the individual’s identity and self-esteem
• Building confidence to enable the young people we look after to take on the responsibility of adult life including the acquisition of appropriate parenting skills. Providing an environment for undertaking appropriate work either inclusive or exclusive of the young people’s family
• Providing an environment that values learning and promotes further education and/or vocational training that will develop young people’s skill base and subsequently enhance their life opportunities and access to employment
• In order to achieve these aims and objectives a supportive partnership is established between young people and the support team. Regular informal and formal discussions and reviews are held which enable the views and opinions of the young people to be sought and thereby taken into consideration within the daily programme
