Our ethos

​

Our ethos at Church view centres around providing an environment which enables children

to thrive in a home that feels nurturing, warm, and safe.

 

The environment will be created by

a dedicated staff team that will have high values of unconditional positive regard and a

fantastic knowledge of current issues that vulnerable children face. Through this, excellent

working relationships will be formed which will allow the children to tackle their challenges

and make valuable progress. The team at Church view will work with the children as long as

necessary to meet their identified needs and it is expected that the children will stay in

placement on a long-term basis.

 

The children will receive bespoke care where they are treated as an individual. They will be

actively encouraged to become a positive member of the local community whilst assisting

them to develop the skills to live independently and develop resilience to allow them to be

able to cope effectively with significant life changes.

 

We will aim to ensure that the children’s physical, emotional, and psychological health

needs are met through effective placement planning, key working and identifying

appropriate support. We will ensure that staff members and key workers consult with the

children about their health needs so that they understand key health risks and begin to take

responsibility for their own health leading to a reduction in behaviour and decision making

that would have a negative impact on their health such as smoking or alcohol/substance

misuse.

 

Positive contact with family and other significant individuals that are important to the young

person will always be supported and facilitated as we believe it is imperative developing a

strong sense of self identity.

 

We will ensure that the right education placement is sought for the young person and that

they are fully supported and equipped to have excellent attendance and achieve to their full

potential based on their ability at the point of placement. We will also ensure that when we

work with education placements and schools we will positively advocate for the young

person at all stages.

 

The registered manager will ensure that the young person’s views are considered with

regards to the development of staff and the home. The views and opinions of other

professionals, family members and wider stakeholders will also be considered on all aspects

of care to ensure there is a holistic approach and understanding that will in turn lead to

better outcomes.
