​This service is open to all Looked After and Adopted Children (LAAC) who need additional services and support due to living apart from their family. This could be working on issues of attachment through to developmental trauma, or needing to talk about things that are very worrying for the young person. 

It is also open to adoptive families and foster carers who are looking after young people. We offer foster carer reflective groups with additional training and support, and consultation to social workers / Supervising social workers/ foster carers.

Following an initial consultation and then an assessment which identifies the presenting behaviours and worries, we devise a plan of intervention that suits the needs of the young person. This will be regularly reviewed and shared with the young person and their family. 

We can make referrals to specialist therapeutic services such as family therapy, play therapy and art therapy.
