Our Childrens homes
Our Approach Across All Our Homes
Every Outbound Care home is designed to provide more than simply a place to live.
We aim to create safe, nurturing and welcoming homes where young people are listened to, respected and encouraged to play an active role in decisions about their lives.
Our staff work with each young person as an individual, recognising their experiences, strengths, needs and aspirations. Through consistent relationships, personalised care, education, positive activities and opportunities to develop practical life skills, we support young people to build confidence, resilience and increasing independence.
Our homes are intentionally small and homely, allowing staff to provide individualised support and develop meaningful relationships with the young people in their care.
