Our Services -
Registered children's homes
The organisation has five homes around Kent and South East London. All homes are registered with Ofstead, four of which are for young people aged between 13-17 with emotional behavioural problems. The fifth home is registered for young people aged between 12-17 with learning disabilities and associated complex needs.
There is a Statement of Purpose & Function, and standard policies and procedures available to those who wish to place children in the homes; parents, carers and significant others. The homes are staffed on a 24 hour basis with either waking night staff or sleep in staff on duty over night.
Individual support...
We employ a number of qualified teachers and learning support assistants who work intensively with the child to help them achieve goals and develop an individual program of self development.
The units seek to provide a more flexible and informal environment than typical children's homes. Children are encouraged to take greater responsibility of their own care and undertake an education and activity based weekly programme aimed at developing their relationships with both peers and adults and promoting choice and a broadening of personal, community and social knowledge. Our primary task is to increase the young peoples' sense of achievement and self esteem.
