Our Service
Our Home offers children and young people a nurturing environment, where they can develop effective and lasting relationships both within the home and the local community. It is hoped that living within established communities will support young people to develop their social skills and build resilience to support their preparation for transition into independence. We will ensure that all the key developmental areas of health, education, emotional and personal development, family and social relationships, identity, self-care and social presentation are addressed in the planning for each young person. Our Home aims to provide a healthy lifestyle and this includes being, mentally and physically healthy, supporting personal hygiene, accessing medical advice and gaining a general
understanding of the importance of a healthy, nutritious diet. We encourage each young person to plan and work together towards household decisions regarding their activities, decoration of the home, and purchase of equipment, house rules and rewards.
