We aim to create and preserve trusting relationships with the children to create a secure base where they can begin to address their challenging behaviour in order to eventually assume some control over, and take responsibility for, making positive choices in their lives. We hope this will help them to identify and modify their behaviour, which will enable them to reintegrate back into their own family, substitute family or to live independently and thrive in the community. All of our staff believe in the principle of frank, open, non-judgemental genuine discussions, and emphasising the personal worth of the child with positive individual responsibility.
Some of our residents may be particularly vulnerable, suffering from learning difficulties. We aim to establish a safe and secure environment where a child can develop their individual identity and understanding whilst having their needs met in an honest, positive and above all consistent and professional manner.
We aim to provide an atmosphere of ordinary family life within a small residential children’s home, where children are supported and provided with the required information to develop and understand structure and routine on a par with a regular family setting.
