Aims and Values
Our primary purpose is to help children and young people to feel loved and safe, to have positive memories of living at Kingdom Care, whilst supporting them to achieve their full potential.
We will support and build upon a young people’s strengths, help them to manage their behaviour and understand their feelings, promote educational and/ or employment opportunities, improve their self-esteem and confidence, promote positive and meaningful activities, and to help develop independence and social skills. Supporting the young people holistically enables our young people to successfully work towards their long-term goal whether that be to move back home (where possible), to foster placements, independent or supported accommodation, education, training or full-time employment.
We support and nurture each young person in our care to help them to understand and come to terms with their previous experiences, whilst protecting and safeguarding them from emotional, mental and physical harm.
We provide a warm, caring and safe environment within which each young person is able to recognise their worth, have fun and enjoy being a child. Where appropriate, our young people will return to their families or step down into foster placements, as soon as is practicable. For the young people for whom this is not a realistic option, we provide longer term placements within our alternative family style setting.
Our provision and practice of assessment, nurturing and accessing holistic interventions, supports young people in enhancing their areas of strength and addressing the identified areas for development. We regularly review our work and assess the impact and outcomes for all the young people in our care, to maximise the benefit they gain from their time with us. We build supportive relationships which lead to positive attachments, developing the emotional stability and resilience needed in adult life.
Through the support we provide, the young people will leave Kingdom Care with enhanced opportunities for building social relationships, educational success and independent living skills.
