"When YP moved into this placement they lacked stability and security in their life. Staff members employed boundaries and routines while working in a person centred way."

"Over this past year YP has really settled into life in the centre; the team is to be commended for their part in assisting him with this transition."
Social Worker
"Following move on YP identified a number of staff members as a massive emotional and practical support to them and this is a testament to the work and effort staff have shown."
