What we offer
We can offer long and short-term placements to all ages of young
people and sibling groups, although we recognise that many of our
referrals will be for those young people who have had numerous
difficulties in their previous placements. Our foster carers have
experience of working with challenging behaviour and receive the
highest level of support, supervision, training and guidance.
Types of Placement -
- Children with challenging behaviour.
- Abused young people i.e. physically, emotionally and sexually
abused boys and girls
- Children who abuse, including risk assessment work.
- Remands
- Mothers and babies/young children, where parenting skills are a
high priority
- Additional specialist therapeutic input can be provided in the
form of direct work with the child or through consultancy support on
an extra cost basis.
