About Inspire Children’s Services

Inspire Children’s Services provide therapeutic residential child care and where appropriate offer an education provision aimed at integrating young people into mainstream education. The service is designed for young people age 11 to 18 years. Our home provides a warm and welcoming environment in which young people feel safe and secure.

Our philosophy at Inspire Children’s Services is to place the needs of the young people at the centre of our service by promoting independence and providing care that respects young people’s rights, choice, privacy and dignity.

Inspire Children’s Services aim to provide the highest levels of care and service to enable young people to achieve their full potential through recognising and responding to their individuality and through listening to their views and opinions.

We achieve this by ensuring that our staff are recruited through stringent procedures; are qualified in accordance with SSSC registration requirements and trained to a high standard with an emphasis on the provision of a consistent, supportive, stable and secure environment for all young people.

Our model of service provision is based on a Trauma Informed Care approach which recognises both the potential sources of trauma and the effects on young people. We identify the individual needs of young people through a comprehensive process of assessment and respond appropriately based on a public health model approach.

Our policies and procedures support this ethos and are written to provide safe services and working practices that help to protect young people. We are committed to working flexibly and imaginatively with all other professionals and agencies to ensure that the best interests of the young people in our care are prioritised and remain paramount.

We are unreservedly committed to the principles and practice of the “Getting It Right For Every Child” approach and strive to ensure that the young people in our care are safe, healthy, nurtured, active, respected, included and given the best possible opportunities to achieve their goals.
