Where You’ll Do It
We care for children within a residential home who have experienced significant trauma, child sexual exploitation or who are at risk of exploitation. We help the children learn vital skills to stay safe, make good decisions, and grow into young adults ready for semi-independence or returning to family. We work with professionals and our clinical team to create robust care plans. This service helps support children who experience time missing from home. The team helps reduce missing from home through positive relationships, therapeutic work, and helping the child express their needs.
Our home is a farm house in a rural area near Crediton, with capacity for 4 children at a time. We have outdoor space for activities. Each room has a unique, homely feel shaped by the children.
We have a diverse team of carers with a range of ages and skills, united by a passion to empower and support the children to achieve their best.
