Specialists in Care, Therapy and Innovation.
Our Purpose
We strive to empower & support our Young People on a day to day basis. ‘Helping Children achieve more’ by building effective and positive Therapeutic Relationships. We aim to deliver service excellence and positive future outcomes for our Young People.
Our Provision
SHS was established in 2015 and is one of the leading Independent Residential Childcare Provider in the West Midlands. We predominately support and accommodate Children and Young People in Care (CYPIC). We care for young people from many different ethnic, cultural backgrounds, religions, sexual orientations or social diversity. At SHS we believe it is essential to work collaboratively and in partnership with the Child/Young Persons Care Team by using a Team Around the Child approach method that includes the Young Person social worker and any other professionals involved in their care.
We understand that many of our Young People have experienced significant trauma and abuse in the early years of their lives and can present with Challenging Behaviours. Therefore, we endeavour to be consistent, non-judgemental and supportive no matter the Young Person’s presentation.
Philosophy & Mission
We operate within the frameworks of the Children’s Act 2004, Children’s Homes regulation 2015, Children and Young Person’s Act 2008, Helping Children Achieve More agenda 2010, and many more Policies. We aim to provide high quality Residential Care for our Young People. Offering them a safe nurturing environment to stabilise, rebuild and enable their roots to grow.
