Intensive support programmes

At point of referral and in partnership with the Placing Authority, the young people who require the most intensive levels of support can be placed in one of our small intensively staffed homes.

With staff ratios of a minimum of 1:1 and where necessary 2:1, these homes accommodate no more than two to three young people and are staffed by a team specifically trained to engage with young people with complex and challenging needs.

These highly structured environments allow young people to address the emotional and behavioural issues that are preventing them from fulfilling their potential and integrating safely into society.

The homes provide on site DCSF registered and ESTYN Approved education in a dedicated classroom with the intention of re-integrating the young person into mainstream schooling at the earliest opportunity.

  • Many of the young people in our care will also require the services of a multi-agency approach. We work in partnership with agencies such as Youth Offending Teams; Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services and legal services to offer a framework of fully integrated resources to achieve our objective of successful outcomes.
  • Our professional staff work closely with the young people to help them address the issues their displays of negative behaviour create, so that they can gain a level of independent control and begin to contribute to society.
