Prospect House/School accommodates a maximum of six young people of either gender in the age range of ten to seventeen years, and is registered with OFSTED.
We receive, assess and formulate the Individual Care Plan of each young person. We offer care accommodation and education to young people in need. The young people referred to ourselves have encountered previous hurts and disruption in their lives, therefore our aim, whilst recognising their past, is to create an environment which facilitates the disclosing of feelings in an open and non threatening manner whilst ensuring that we have in place a framework of support.
We do not work with the young person in isolation, their family and significant others in their lives are important components in a fragile system of inter-personal dynamics. Total communication with all professionals involved in the young person's life is also a priority if we hope to succeed in the healing process. This includes working with children and young people in ways that promote their rights and responsibilities.
Supporting children and young people to express their views and preferences about their health and well being and contributing to the protection of children and young people, whilst respecting their diversity, differences preferences and choice. In addition, we work with children and young people to identify goals and boundaries for acceptable behaviour, support children and young people to manage challenging behaviour and enable children and young people to recognise and understand their behaviours and their consequences.
We believe that our house should be an ‘open window' to our practice, and welcome any objective and constructive comments on this.
