STEPPING STONES TO SUCCESS

OUR AIMS & OBJECTIVES

We aim to provide a safe, reliable, consistent, warm, and nurturing environment.

We aim to make each child’s time with us a positive experience that enables them to develop and be better prepared for the next stage of their life.

Our objective is for each child to:

  • achieve positive outcomes from their placement with us.
  • overcome the impact of past trauma.
  • build emotional resilience.
  • move forward confidently in their lives with positive regard for themselves and others

How is this achieved?

  • Through bespoke key working sessions with each young person, looking at short- and long-term objectives. Ensuring the young people have an input into these sessions and they develop a good understanding of how to keep themselves safe.
  • By keeping the wishes and feelings of the children as a priority.
  • By putting real focus on education; not just within a school environment but bringing that within the home through teaching essential life skills such as cooking, cleaning, and shopping. This helps to build a sense of pride and self-worth.
  • By creating stability within children’s lives. Helping to build routines, boundaries and resilience is all done to make the home as close to a familysetting as possible.
  • By introducing a respect within the home and not only embracing individuality and diversity but celebrating and valuing it.
  • Active participation in activities outside of the home, such as after school classes, trips away, sports and other social clubs.
  • By ensuring the welfare and safeguarding of each young person.
