Our Approach
We take a relationship-based and rights-championing approach to the big things that matter to young people:
Safe, healthy and supportive relationships
Access to education, employment and training
The skills to manage a home and money
Our Model Of Support
We continually challenge ourselves to develop the culture we need to be the best for young people. We develop deeper systemic understandings of young people, the challenges they face and the people around them.
We reflect on what we ask of ourselves and our colleagues to achieve the highest quality of care and to root these in our values.
Our Values

Care
Structured and nurturing Care requires us to have supportive and honest team cultures, that build attuned and containing practice with quality supervision, peer support and reflective work at its heart.
Acceptance
Acceptance of young people needs us to look beyond behaviours and triggers. Our assessment and planning support us to be curious, to be mindful of assumptions and labels and to feel comfortable with challenge and having courageous conversations.
Perseverance
Perseverance is rooted in our collective belief that a young person’s journey is taken step by step. Our services are designed to help this journey and we expect each other, and the other professionals we work with, to be involved and accountable in our shared aim of achieving the best for young people.
Hope
To be a place of Hope means a culture where we are there to support each other, where we will make mistakes but commit to learning from them together, and where we know, from our shared experiences, that our investment of time, resource and care in our young people always makes a difference.
