How it works
Our process
Admissions
We manage planned, urgent, and respite admissions through a comprehensive process that ensures each child's needs are thoroughly understood and catered for. For planned admissions, we work closely with the child, their family, and any involved professionals to ensure a smooth transition into our care. For urgent and respite admissions, we have a rapid response team that can quickly assess and admit children into our care.
Assessment of Care and Support
Upon admission, each child undergoes an initial assessment to identify their care and support needs. This assessment is conducted by a multidisciplinary team of professionals, including social workers, psychologists, and healthcare professionals. The assessment covers various aspects, including physical health, emotional well-being, social skills, and educational needs.
Personal Plan Development
Based on the initial assessment, a personalised care and support plan is developed for each child. This plan outlines the specific care and support services the child will receive, the goals to be achieved, and the strategies to be used. The plan is developed in consultation with the child and their representative to ensure it reflects their needs, preferences, and aspirations.
