What we are developing

Care designed to feel like home, built to professional standards.

Our planned care model is built around small, homely settings and individual support.

Small homes. Individual care.

planned placements in our first home

Small homes. More individual attention.

Our first proposed home is designed for up to three placements, so future care can stay personal and every child can be properly known.

  • Careful placement matching

    Future referrals will be considered against the child's needs, risks and compatibility within the home once it is registered.

  • Personalised support

    Our planned model uses individual care plans, with children involved in decisions about day-to-day life wherever appropriate.

  • Consistent relationships

    We are building teams around dependable adults children can come to know and trust.

  • Homely environments

    Carefully developed, well-kept homes with privacy, comfort and a sense of belonging.

  • Quality before scale

    We are growing carefully so quality is never sacrificed for speed or expansion.

For social workers & commissioners

A considered approach to future placements.

Once a home is registered, we will move carefully at every stage, from the first enquiry to planning a safe, suitable placement.

  1. 01

    Enquiry received

    We will review future placement enquiries carefully and discuss the placement being sought.

  2. 02

    Individual needs and risks reviewed

    We will review needs, risks and fit with the registered home's Statement of Purpose.

  3. 03

    Placement compatibility considered

    We will consider compatibility with any other children living in the home at that time.

  4. 04

    Safe transition and individual care planning

    If a future placement is suitable, we will plan a safe transition and put the child's care plan in place.

Once operational, progress, safeguarding, education and independence will remain under regular review.
