Equip your team with the skills that matter most.

Training areas include:

• Trauma-informed practice — understanding behaviour through the lens of a child’s history
• Mental health awareness for children in care
• Anxiety, self-harm and emotional dysregulation — recognition and response
• Understanding ADHD and Autism in a residential setting — how neurodevelopmental differences show up in behaviour and what that means for your approach
• Post-diagnosis support frameworks — what a diagnosis means and how your team can respond
• Therapeutic approaches in a residential setting
• Attachment and relationship-based care
• De-escalation and regulated responses

Training is available as a one-off session, full development day or as part of an ongoing staff development programme.

Direct, skilled support where it is needed most.

We offer:

• One-to-one mental health and wellbeing sessions — delivered in the home or in a setting that works for the young person
• Baseline assessments — to establish starting points and inform care plans
• 6–12 week structured programmes — goal-focused, reviewed and tailored to the individual
• Group work — building peer connection and shared skills
• Support around self-harm, anxiety, identity and self-esteem
• ADHD and Autism-informed therapeutic support — for young people who have a diagnosis, or where neurodevelopmental differences are affecting their day-to-day life
• Education-linked support — bridging the gap between the care home and learning

Our practitioners are experienced in working with children who have not responded to traditional or clinic-based provision. We meet young people where they are.

Understanding what has often been missed.

A significant number of children in residential care have undiagnosed ADHD or Autism. Behaviours that have been labelled as defiance, dysregulation or non-compliance are often the expression of unmet neurodevelopmental need. Our assessments provide the clarity that changes everything.

We offer:

• Comprehensive ADHD assessments for children and young people in care
• Autism assessments — sensitive to the specific contexts and presentation patterns of looked-after children
• Home-based information gathering — working with your registered manager and key workers as part of the process
• Clear, accessible reports — written for care teams, placing authorities and families
• Recommendations for home-based adjustments and care planning

A diagnosis can be the turning point — for the young person’s understanding of themselves, for your team’s understanding of them, and for the quality and appropriateness of the support you are able to provide.

Post-Diagnosis Support

From diagnosis to genuine understanding.

For young people in care, receiving a diagnosis of ADHD or Autism can be both a relief and an overwhelming moment. Many have spent years being misunderstood. Our post-diagnosis support helps young people, care teams and families to make sense of what the diagnosis means — and what to do next.

We offer:

• Young person support sessions — building self-understanding, self-advocacy and strategies that work for them
• Carer and key worker sessions — practical tools and adjusted approaches for the people closest to the young person
• Care plan integration — working with your team to embed the diagnosis into how the young person is supported day-to-day
• Placing authority briefings — supporting the wider professional network to understand and respond appropriately
• Ongoing post-diagnosis programmes — where continued structured support is needed

Stable environments. Confident teams. Better outcomes.

We offer:

• Risk assessment and management frameworks for SEMH and neurodevelopmental challenges
• Whole-home wellbeing audits
• Early neurodevelopmental screening — identifying young people who may benefit from formal assessment before behaviours escalate
• Family engagement and contact support
• Transition planning — preparing young people for moves, changes and new settings
