Our counsellors and therapeutic support workers will formulate an initial risk assessment plan within the
young person’s first 24 hours. We then seek to implement support mechanisms for children and young people
with emotional needs, behavioural difficulties and mild learning disabilities. We will assess the needs of each

individual and provide bespoke care plans with our multi-disciplinary team who can offer specialist support.
Details will be given and explained clearly upon what the individual will need to achieve in order to keep their
placement from breaking down and the type of positive behaviour that will be expected of them during their
tenure and of course what the consequences will be if the agreements  are not adhered too.  

This is to create reasonable boundaries to help support them in their future independent lives, this will be
verbally explained and given to the young person in writing and them signing up to this upon admission.
However, we understand the wide range of challenges that young people face and if agreements are broken,
they will be given support and mechanisms to understand why certain negative patterns of behaviour are
unacceptable, as well as a complementary action plan identified through our registered in-house psychotherapist.  

POSITIVE MENTAL HEALTH AND EMOTIONAL WELLBEING

Working therapeutically and utilising integrative models of therapy (Cognitive Behavioural, Humanistic and
Psychodynamic approaches) will illustrate to  young care leavers various ways they can be helped through
our sessions through the  delivery of new initiatives in consultation with them. Information will be readily
available in a environment where they feel safe and information will be relayed by the team of adults who
are experienced and confident in working with young people of varying complex issues.  

We will work collaboratively with local authorities and partner organisations, who will  support and integrate
collectively with the services we provide.
