Preserving Childhood

Foregrounding childhood

We preserve the individual’s childhood, creating a space for opportunities, positive risk taking and the inherent messiness of family life, whilst minimising the impact of relevant restrictions and intrusions. This includes engaging in fun activities and pursuing personal interests at home and in the local community.

Feeling at home

It is critical that the young person’s experience of their time with us should be of ‘home’, a place that is safe, secure, supportive and stimulating. A place where adults provide the helping hands to encourage fun, learning, overcoming challenges and, adventures too. A place where there is comfort through the tough times and celebrations where there is success.
