We use our experience to create effective and personalised packages of care and support alongside family members, carers and commissioners

Diverse and Complex Needs

For individuals with complex needs and forensic backgrounds, we deliver intensive, therapeutic support packages. Our approach provides safe, supportive environments coupled with the freedom to make choices, unlock potential, embrace positive risks, and make progress.

Specialised support encompasses rehabilitation and a blend of expert risk assessment and therapeutic interventions. Each individual benefits from the consistent support of a small team, fostering the development of positive, trusting relationships.

Our approach

We offer specialised, intensive, and therapeutic support alongside our in-house specialists.

As an affiliate organisation of Sherwood Training, we are licensed to deliver Physical Intervention, RRN approved training.

All care staff undergo a mandatory six-week induction program and complete the Care Certificate, including specialised training in Physical Interventions, Autism, Positive Behaviour Support (PBS), Safeguarding, Sensory Integration, Mental Health, REACH, Communication, and Grooming Awareness.

Our person-centered approach to managing challenging behaviors, known as PBS (Positive Behaviour Support), underpins our methodology.
