HOW WE CARE FOR YOUR CHILD
At Pegasus, the young person’s voice directly informs the care that we deliver. Young people help us decide how to personalise bedrooms, furnish the homes, plan menus, book activities and much more. Young people are assigned key care workers who they know well. Key care workers work closely with young people and the wider teams to ensure young people’s needs are met. Key care workers aim to build effective trusting relationships with parents and other stakeholders to promote working together. All young people have an individualised care plan which outlines their health, personal care, cultural and religious needs. All care plans are reviewed regularly and shared in line with statutory care reviews.
“Outstanding - friendly and knowledgeable staff who go above and beyond to care for the young people”

The homes are made as homely and comfortable as possible. Any adaptions to meet individual need of young people the environment are made to have minimal impact, whilst meeting the complex needs of those that use it. We work within the ethos of least restrictive practice. This includes providing opportunities for children to have as much freedom as possible whilst ensuring they are safe. Young people receive a weekly allowance for food, clothing and personal care items. Each home also has a weekly activity allowance. Key care workers will work in partnership with young people and their families to meet any tangible needs of the young people. At Pegasus we promote young people sharing homes and spaces with others. Whilst we acknowledge sharing spaces can present challenges, we believe it also creates important opportunities to practice ‘give and take’ and provide valuable learning opportunities that can increase future opportunities as young people move into adulthood.
