How we care
Here at Beaufort, we provide a caring and inclusive environment where children can feel safe, secure and settled. We work closely with young people to manage the transition to our home and give them every chance to flourish.
With the support of our kind, caring team, young people learn how to build trusting relationships with their peers and adults.
Some young people are progressing toward independence as part of their individual pathway plan. We encourage them to have a say in this pathway plan and support them to make positive life choices.
Having fun and chilling out
During their stay with us, our children and young people enjoy lots of different activities, such as:
- board games, watching movies and pamper nights in the home
- taking part in local sports clubs, ice skating, horse riding, crazy golf, trampolining and racing on the nearby BMX track.
- we also offer our children and young people the opportunity to go on holiday either in the UK or abroad.
Education
Our care team is committed to providing exceptional educational support to all our children and young people. Our team of engagement workers work tirelessly to ensure that each child receives personalised education support that meets their individual needs.
We offer a range of options, including tailored packages that combine in-home and out-of-home learning, as well as traditional school attendance.
