Our Home's Ethos

This is achieved through the provision of a stable living environment and laying the foundations of a trusting relationship with the staff team.

We believe that it is only fair to support individuals in a way which reflects their own aspirations and is realistic and achievable.

We support the idea that young people may change their perspectives and priorities and would encourage them to engage with services to express their views.

Our practices acknowledge and accept that young people can make mistakes and may need to be supported to move forward.

Through a consistent and fair approach, we ensure that our young people are given the praise and encouragement needed to build confidence and self-esteem. It is our view that improved self-confidence is key to improved behaviour and that any step in the right direction should be acknowledged.

We believe that communication is the key to effective multi agency working, in order to ensure the needs of our young people are met, therefore relevant professionals receive regular reports and updates to ensure a true 'team around the young person' approach.
