We provide a service to young people aged 0-18 who are Looked After by the local authority; either in foster care, living with relatives, or in residential care. We believe that wherever possible the best place for a young person to be cared for is within their family. Where this is not possible, whether it be because it is unsafe or because the young person’s parents cannot give them the full care they need, the young person will be cared for i.e. Looked After, by the Local Authority. If a young person is in care, we will provide them with a placement which will enable them to be safe, healthy and help them to achieve educationally and socially.
