The home is part of Cambian Group and is committed to providing the best possible care for the young people we look after. We are registered with Ofsted to provide residential care for young people up to 18 years old of either gender with behavioural, emotional and social difficulties, through adverse childhood experiences such as trauma, neglect, sexual, physical, mental or emotional abuse or children that are in a situation of family breakdown.
We do not have any young people in our home as yet as we are currently reopening the home. Our aim is to provide outstanding individualised care packages to each young person, that is child centred in a way that is empowering to our young people. We aim to set small achievable targets that lead to bigger objectives, all young people in our care are involved in planning and decision making based on what is important from their own perspective and areas of need. We provide support in homely atmosphere where staff genuinely care for the young people we support. Our staff team continue to build on the relationships made with the young person and the care plan is adapted in accordance with how the young person develops and changes over time, and the local authority care plan.
Our vision at Hay Park is to provide the highest possible level of care to the Children that reside at Hay Park and to promote a relaxed and homely environment that enables young people to grow and realise their own unique potential and self-worth. At the same time encouraging our children to develop the academic, practical and social skills needed to thrive and transition from a young person in to an adult. We believe that developing self-esteem and positive self-regard works in harmony with holistic well-being which in turn helps a young person grow and develop their own identity and potential.
We believe that children thrive only when they feel safe in the environment and feel that the people around them genuinely care for their wellbeing and safety and are interested in spending time with them and getting to know them as individuals, our child centred approach ensures that the young people feel listened to. We believe that if the home appears welcoming, relaxed and homely both in atmosphere and appearance; that staff, young people and visitors find it easy to settle in and achieve this objective.
