Emergency Care

We provide accommodation in a trauma-informed home environment, with one or more Support Workers present at all times

 
Known as Short Term Care, this accommodation option is available 24/7 for children and young people between 0-18 years who have been assessed by the Department for Child Protection as being at risk and are placed under Guardianship orders.

We understand that these children have experienced trauma and consequently need specific tailored care which our skilled staff can provide.

Referral to this service is completed by the Department for Child Protection.
