- Individually tailored programmes of care for each young person providing safety and well-being through well-established boundaries coupled with multiple opportunities for personal development
- An ‘in-house’, specialist fostering service that is able to offer an alternative to residential placement where appropriate as the young person progresses. We see residential care as an intensive intervention rather than a final destination

“I’ve come a very, very long way from when I arrived. I’ve progressed and I will keep on progressing. Nowadays, I take responsibility for my own actions, just like everybody else.”
— David, ex student
“When I meet a couple of new people
They found it very hard
And I found it very hard
To come to terms with life
And how they had been treated in this world
This world, this place, this friendship embarrassed
Needs more love in our case
When I hear about their lives
I just wanna give them a hug
And I wish the badness and pain
Would go away
And a special life full of love
Full of grace
Will be heading my friend’s way”— A poem by Becky ( an ex pupil)
