Young people who feel they are being bullied as well as the alleged perpetrators are sensitively supported and have access to discrete anti-bullying and self-advocacy programmes. The programmes are delivered by the most suitably skilled staff member.
Key workers actively promote and respect the voice of each young person, listening carefully to their views, wishes, and feelings, regardless of how minor an issue or request may appear. Pegasus School recognises that when young people feel heard and valued in relation to smaller concerns, they are more likely to feel empowered and confident to share more significant worries or disclosures. This approach supports emotional safety, trust, and positive outcomes for all young people.
Trauma-Informed Approach
The home adopts a trauma ‑ informed approach in all interactions with and support provided to young people. Practice is underpinned by an understanding of the impact of trauma on behaviour, emotional regulation, and relationships. The aim of this approach is to ensure that young people feel safe, recognised, and emotionally supported, enabling them to develop trust, resilience, and a sense of wellbeing.
