Before a child moves into one of our homes, we take the time to build a partnership with commissioners, education, health, families, carers, stakeholders and the children themselves. This way, we can make sure we find the residential placement that’s right for them. We understand the importance of a space where our young people can settle in and feel secure.

We believe that each child deserves the opportunity to reach their potential and should be given the chance to develop in a safe environment; alongside an education that prepares them to be productive, contribute to the community and benefit from their efforts. Holywell Children’s Services works closely with other agencies, including education and health authorities, so that the children in our care receive the personalised support they need.

Each child placed with Holywell will be paired with a key worker, who will advocate for and support the child in reviews, school meetings and medical appointments. This gives our support team a detailed understanding of each child’s needs and the progress being made. Whenever possible, we support contact visits with parents, as well as working in partnership with social workers and professionals from various agencies – ensuring that contact is safe and enjoyable.
