Why Choose Us?
Our Ethos & Vision - A Place Where Young Lives Flourish
At Waters Care, our mission is to deliver the highest quality care and create an environment that promotes healing, growth and positive outcomes for every child and young person in our care.
We understand that providing a nurturing home with a therapeutic culture is the foundation for helping young people overcome challenges and realise their full potential.
Our Unique Approach
- Small, Homely Settings: Our homes are intentionally small and welcoming, allowing us to provide personalised care and build strong, trusting relationships.
- Holistic, Wraparound Support: Our young people receive consistent emotional and psychological support, helping them develop a strong sense of safety.
- Therapeutic Culture: We promote a culture of openness, respect, acceptance and understanding, encouraging young people to express themselves freely.
- Compassionate Teams: We bring a wealth of expertise and empathy, collaborating to address the complex needs of children who have experienced trauma.
- Training & Supervision: Our teams have regular training and supervision. Every member is well prepared to deliver effective, nurturing, trauma-informed care.
- Consistent Communication: We maintain clear and open lines of communication throughout, to ensure a strong support network around each child.
Our Commitment to Transparency & Safeguarding
Our Safeguarding Principles to Empower Children & Young People:
We are dedicated to promoting a culture built on transparency, openness and trust. Our priority is to create a safe, supportive environment for everyone within our organisation, especially the children and young people in our care.
We take a proactive approach to safeguarding, focusing on collaboration and a shared sense of responsibility across our entire team.
- Collective Responsibility: Protecting the welfare of children and young people is a shared duty. We work closely with external agencies and partners to provide effective safeguarding measures.
- Prompt Reporting: Our comprehensive training and policies give every staff member a clear obligation to immediately report any concerns or suspicions of mistreatment or harm involving a child.
- Accessible Information: Young people should have the knowledge and resources they need to speak up if they feel unsafe. We offer clear information on how to report abuse or raise any concerns.
- Access to External Support: We ensure our residents have private access to trusted resources, websites and helplines like Childline. This helps reinforce their sense of safety and protection.
