Residential Care

Our Homes

All of our homes are situated in the county of East Sussex, a beautiful part of the country on the South Coast of England. The homes are of varying sizes from one to three beds, urban and rural and the circumstances surrounding each young person placed with us is carefully considered before deciding on which home would best suit them.

Education

Wherever possible we aim to include the young people that we work with in mainstream education and have seen many of them attend local secondary schools and colleges. Sometimes this is something to work towards therefore we have close links with a local school called Headstart www.headstartschool.co.uk

Based on a farm in the heart of rural East Sussex, Headstart provides a safe, caring and positive community where all the individual needs of our students are catered for.

The school offers a dynamic approach to education for 11-18 year olds who have found conventional schooling ineffective with respect to meeting their needs.

Provision is also available for students diagnosed on the autistic spectrum; those with ADHD and other associated learning difficulties. The school promotes educational and social progress for all, and this is achieved through their high ratio of staff to students, which is often on the basis of 1:1.

Within the organisation the Youth Workers themselves have instigated and interim educational facility. Should the young people be outside of regular education through expulsion, suspension or whether they are awaiting a placement at a school, staff provide education between 10am and 3pm for all young people utilising their own abilities and skills as well as working through relevant work books measured against the young person's abilities. The subjects that staff can provide education on are as follows

We offer the following Education Packages

Measurable Outcomes - The SSS Review

With the work that we do transforming the lives of young individuals often the question is raised as to how we can prove that what we do is making a difference. Through acknowledging positive outcomes we have devised a progression tracking system that focuses on the Every Child Matters headings surrounding key issues including Social Development and Education. Through working on goals detailed within troubled teenagers Care Plans we are able to evidence vast improvements in key aspects of their lives and from averaging the scoring based on Enjoying & Achieving, Staying Safe etc we are able to see how the young person is progressing overall.Progression Report - Measurable Outcomes
