Loving Homes

Therapeutic Homes

Our homes are family sized properties offering a welcoming, nurturing, homely environment. We are located in urban areas within the community and provide one to one staffing levels for a maximum of two children.

Our children each have their own rooms which are carefully individualised, decorated and maintained to provide a therapeutic environment (fitted with a lock to ensure their privacy).

The emphasis on small, nurturing homes with consistent 1:1 staffing levels makes a valuable contribution to the attachment programmes and therapeutic interventions which are central to our work with the children.

We have achieved consistent rating of good or outstanding in all aspects of Ofsted inspections, which reflects our commitment to providing our children with the best possible service in all aspects of care.

Who Lives Here?

Children aged between 6 and 17 years can live at our homes. The maximum age gap between children who live together is four years and we only ever accommodate a maximum of 2 children in any one home. The children who live here can be of either biological sex.

All of the children who come to live with us will, whenever possible, have the opportunity to meet one of our management team prior to their planned admission. This allows us to ascertain their suitability for the home and to ensure that the match of children who live at that home will be beneficial for both children.

During their first three months each child is involved in a comprehensive therapeutic assessment with our in-house therapist and trained staff. The assessment is used to formulate a detailed therapeutic programme that is individualised to the child.

The only emergency placements which will be considered relate to children who have previously lived within Future In Mind or have been receiving therapy externally from us. No other emergency placements will be considered although decisions regarding placement can be made within 24 hours of referral.
