MOBILE CRISIS INTERVENTION AND ASSESSMENT UNIT:
We offer same-day, registered, crisis intervention and assessment placements at out mobile unit with either a 1:1 or 2:1 staff ratio, depending on level of need and risk assessment.
This placement option includes full social, educational and psychological assessment reports.
We use a range of accommodation and locations for this purpose. Selection is based on specific requirements and the initial risk assessment.
The dedicated and experienced staff team offers intensive support to young people aged 10-18 who are behaviourally challenging and emotionally vulnerable.
The psychological assessment is completed on admission by the clinician who also provides direct therapeutic support to the young people and works with the staff team to develop, monitor and review behaviour management strategies.
The education assessment is completed by our own qualified teachers who work in close partnership with residential care staff to deliver the education programme. Our shared aim is to ensure educational inclusion is a priority and statutory requirements are met.
Young people are encouraged to be pro-active in the running of the unit and to be actively involved in making choices and taking part in decision-making processes.
