At If They Care Homes, our ethos is based on the belief that all children and young people should have access to equal opportunities in life, regardless of their starting points, early life experiences, background, age, gender, or sexuality. We believe all young people should be loved, happy, healthy, safe from harm, and able to develop, thrive, and fulfil their potential. 

​

We achieve this by working systemically; in practice, this is a child-focused intervention that seeks to make sense of the world through all the relationships the child may have. By extending ourselves and acknowledging our role and influence in the child’s life, we are able to deepen our understanding of their world to make a meaningful difference. Our home offers children and young people a nurturing environment where they can develop effective and lasting relationships, both within the home and in the local community. It is hoped that living within established communities will support young people in developing their social skills and building resilience to aid their preparation for the transition to independence. 

​

We will ensure that all key developmental areas; health, education, emotional and personal development, family and social relationships, identity, self-care, and social presentation are addressed in the planning for each young person.
