We believe firmly in avoiding restraint wherever possible and implement Restraint Reduction programmes into all young people’s Personal Plans.

We hold policies with market leaders in the industry which ensure all of our staff and children, as well as the homes themselves (which are owned by Guidance Care) are protected fully. Details are available on request.

We ensure teams remain constant to one home to encourage ownership and develop relationships between staff and young people and ensure our staff are made to feel valued.

This is a non-profit making side of our service as we feel that support upon leaving us is something we have a moral obligation to give all of our young people.

This is a service we mostly offer to and for young people who are making the move into a more independent placement.
