They offer safe, nurturing homes, structured routines, and 1:1 staffing for each child. Through our dual placements, we foster a balance between peer interaction and individualised care. In a low-stimulus, predictable environment, children can build confidence, engage socially at their own pace, and benefit from a consistent routine managed by dedicated staff.

We support children facing:

• Complex trauma and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs)
• Emotional and behavioural difficulties (EBD)
• Neurodiversity, including ASD and ADHD
• Mental health challenges, including Tier 4 and secure step-down placements

Our approach is rooted in evidence-based models, including:

• PACE (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, Empathy)
• Secure Base Model to foster emotional security and resilience
• High staff-to-child ratios to ensure responsive and relational care

Individualised Care Plans

Every child has an individualised care plan developed in partnership with their key worker, family, and professional network. Daily life at Above and Beyond balances therapeutic support with structure and routine.

This includes:

• 1:1 therapeutic keywork sessions
• Access to formal or informal education
• Recreational, cultural, and skill-building activities
• Emotional regulation and independence coaching

We know healing happens through relationships. That’s why consistency, trust, and empathy are embedded into our daily care.

Above and Beyond is committed to:

• Providing a safe, homely environment
• Supporting emotional recovery and personal growth
• Preparing children for brighter, more independent futures
