About Us: Safe Haven Adolescent Care Group LTD is an Ofsted Registered specialist therapeutic company that has created homely homes for our children to replicate a family environment as much as possible.
The company has an exceptional reputation with all our homes rated ‘GOOD’ or ‘OUTSTANDING’, further evidencing the outcomes achieved. We have 6 homes, each supported by a team of trained adults who help our children, who have experienced trauma, to build strong connections of trust and comfort. Each child we care for comes to us with a unique set of abilities and goals, and their care is specially tailored to meet their needs with bespoke packages that are closely monitored throughout their stay to ensure they remain accurate and relevant.
As a company, we pride ourselves on the therapeutic approaches, training, and collaborations built to instill this into our ethos and culture. We ensure the best training is provided by care-experienced or expert trainers where possible.
We work closely in consultation with Children’s Homes Quality to embed a ‘Loving Care’ approach, allowing all children to feel safe and loved. To thrive and develop, each individual needs to feel safe, respected, supported, and know their voices are being heard. Loving care is an effective style of child care based on openness, honesty, and mutual respect. Children’s Home’s Quality also supports this further by providing training in the approach and connected training around attachment, trauma, safeguarding, and use of language.
