HOW WE CARE FOR YOUR CHILD
Each young person has an individualised care plan built around them. The level of support, the constraints of the environment, tolerance of peers and levels of risk, will be established by the inter-disciplinary team prior to the young person joining us. This will be combined to form a detailed profile which will ensure that each young person is cared for in a nurturing and consistent way. In addition, each young person has a Positive Behaviour Support Plan called Lalemand, a risk assessment and specific information to that young person. This forms their care plan. The care plan will travel with the young person throughout the home as well as during the school day to ensure a consistency of approach is maintained in all settings. The home's practice is underpinned by trauma-informed principles. Whilst not all staff have completed formal trauma- informed training, staff are supported through induction, mentoring, shadowing and ongoing supervision to understand and apply trauma-responsive approaches in their work with children and young people. Experienced team members model best practice and contribute to the development of colleagues' knowledge and skills in this area. The home recognises that transitions can be a significant source of anxiety for children and young people, particularly those who have experienced trauma, loss, disruption or placement instability.
