Residential Services
The Society’s residential homes care for children and young people between the ages of 8 and 15 years on admission. The homes are registered with and inspected by Ofsted and are linked to Local Authorities to provide care for their Looked After Children.
In accordance with each child’s Care Plan, we will be working towards either a return to their family or a move to an alternative family. With older children, the plan may be that they are helped towards independence if a return to their family is not possible.
The day-to-day emphasis is on providing safe, positive, daily experiences and ensuring that all the children’s needs are met.
Residential staff are selected with care, trained and supported to provide children and young people with positive experiences and opportunities. Their responsibilities also extend to helping young people make sense of their past, help with their concerns at the present and lastly, as with all good parents, equip them as fully as possible for their journey to the future.
