Description:
Penn House provides a safe and secure home for up to 3 young people (male) from 8-17 years old. Children placed with us learn constructive and adaptive methods of dealing with negative experiences and emotions, whilst gaining the understanding behind the behaviours they may present. We are committed to the protection, welfare, growth and development of all young people placed in our care.
We provide care and accommodation to a range of vulnerable children, including those with educational and behavioural problems and emotional behavioural difficulties (EBD).
We promote the development of meaningful relationships for young people, based on core values of dignity, mutual respect, good parenting, independence, privacy, choice and fulfilment.
At Penn House we provide a high standard of accommodation which is always homely and comfortable. Supportive leadership of our highly trained staff team and consultant psychologist encourage positive enforcement every day and we ensure our young people have every opportunity to extend their personal growth.
We believe in setting fair boundaries, in consultation with our young people. We agree and establish a clear expectation of positive and constructive behaviour to be followed by all, including staff and we create routines in support of these agreements. Unacceptable behaviour is always identified and challenged, then positively worked with in a restorative atmosphere, identifying what needs to be implemented to tackle negative behaviour to try and ensure there is no repeat of the initial breakdown.
We always tailor individual programmes to meet specific needs, reviewed constantly to benefit our young people.
