Children's homes care for children who can for various reasons, no longer live with their family. The purpose of Children's homes are to keep young people safe, give them consistent boundaries and routines, support them in accessing education, promote their health and wellbeing, and provide quality of life.
We have a long established tradition of providing residential care to children. Our staff teams respond positively to new challenges and demands that are associated with children with complex needs. Along with that our staffing ratios have increased to ensure that each child in our care has the maximum personal and professional support needed to meet their individual needs. Our service is particularly recognised for its good educational achievements, and all the homes have had very good inspection reports with excellent outcomes for general care and activities.
We offer places for 11 young people in our 2 residential homes across West Yorkshire. Our homes are in a variety of settings, both rural and urban, allowing us to place a young person in the environment which will best suit their needs.
Every young person has their own room within a homely environment, where we aim to replicate as closely as possible, a warm family setting.
Each home has a unique culture where staff have developed particular expertise. Some examples of this are:-
- Working with young people who display challenging behaviour.
- Working with young people with a learning disability.
- Making relationships with young people and their families on short breaks.
- Working through substance misuse or mental health issues.
Our homes are located at:
East Leeds
South-West Bradford
