Child Focused

Child Focussed

We promote the voice of the child within our child-focused support, so the child or young person makes, or is at the centre of, all decisions about their lives and is supported to enable them to determine their own goals – within the context of a respectful and caring environment. A trauma informed approach shifts the attention away from focusing on problems, towards a focus on the development strengths (resilience) of children and young people.
