What We Do
Looked after children or young people in care, are those who have been placed under the care of local authorities for various reasons. These young people may have been removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect, or because their parents or guardians are unable to provide for them. As a result, they require additional support in various areas of their lives, including education, health, engagement, relationships, and mental health.
Education is one of the most critical areas of support for young people. These young people may have experienced disruptions in their education due to frequent moves or lack of stability.
Health is another essential area of support for looked after young people. Many of these young people have experienced trauma, which can have a significant impact on their physical and mental health.
Similarly, mental health is an essential area of support for looked after young people. Many of these young people have experienced trauma and may struggle with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, or PTSD. With the right interventions and support, we believe that the young people in our care can overcome the challenges they have faced and go on to lead happy and fulfilling lives.
Engagement is equally vital for young people. These young people often lack a stable support network and may struggle to form positive relationships with others.
Relationships are also crucial for looked after young people. These young people may have experienced disruptions in their family relationships, which can have a lasting impact on their ability to form healthy relationships.
