We believe that every young person has the power to grow and develop intellectually and emotionally.

 

The primary task is to care for and encourage the young people to develop positive relationships, based upon mutual respect, and to create a climate of trust. Raleigh Care Ltd attempts to create an environment of warmth, welcome, informality and friendliness in all its units.

 

To achieve these aims the staff devise very detailed and specific individual Care Plans with each young person that identifies key emotional, social, behavioural, physical, familial and educational factors in their life. Sufficient time is made available for each young person through the fee structure, each young person having an individually negotiated contract based upon individual need.

 

In summary Raleigh House seeks to:

• Provide for the physical, emotional, cultural, spiritual and social needs of young people.
• Provide a detailed, stimulating, structured and individually challenging developmental Care Plan for each young person.
• Work positively in partnership with others appropriate to the needs of the young person.
• Ensure the young person's educational needs are met and that they have the opportunity to achieve their educational potential.
• Promote and develop self-control.
• Promote the development of self-worth and a positive self-image.
• Promote an active awareness of young people's rights.
• Develop and maintain a strong staff culture.
