Who We Support

During our referral assessment, we’ll explore whether and how we can best support the person involved and ensure their needs are met.

Our Approach

Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is an evidence-based approach that helps us understand the purpose behind behaviours of concern – what the behaviour is communicating and why it happens. Its goal is to reduce these behaviours by teaching positive, effective alternatives and improving the person’s overall quality of life.

PBS is built on partnership, dignity, and respect. Our team focuses on enhancing the quality of life for both the individual and the people around them. Because all behaviour has meaning, PBS helps us identify what a person is trying to tell us so we can better meet their needs.

Personalised and strength-based care

We design care plans tailored to each supported individual’s strengths, needs, and goals, such as encouraging a person skilled in art to lead weekly classes, boosting confidence and inspiring others.

Our support helps people we support build skills and make choices. For instance, one individual learned cooking skills, gaining confidence to prepare meals independently and take control of their daily life.

We embrace cultural practices to ensure meaningful care. A person we support thrived when their daily routine was adapted to include cherished cultural traditions, enhancing their comfort and sense of belonging.

We adapt tools and environments to improve comfort and communication, such as providing noise-cancelling headphones for sensory overload or touch talk devices for non-verbal individuals to express their needs.

We encourage safe, meaningful relationships and activities. One person we support, initially hesitant to engage, now attends a gardening club, forming friendships and enjoying a renewed sense of purpose and inclusion.

Our Speech and Language Therapists (SLTs) are specialists in communication needs and in eating, drinking and swallowing difficulties. They work closely with individuals, their families, staff teams, and other professionals to provide personalised, meaningful support.

SLTs use evidence‑based approaches to:

  • Support safe and comfortable eating and drinking, helping individuals manage dysphagia with confidence.
  • Develop effective communication strategies, enabling people to express themselves in ways that suit their strengths and preferences.

This support enhances quality of life by promoting independence, widening life opportunities, and reducing the risk of social isolation.

Our Occupational Therapists (OTs) help people develop, recover, or maintain everyday living and working skills when they experience physical, cognitive, sensory, or mental health difficulties.

They support individuals who may have long‑term limitations in movement, communication, thinking skills, or sensory processing. The aim is always to maximise independence and enable each person to take part in the activities that matter most to them.

OTs are adaptable, creative problem‑solvers. They help people succeed by modifying activities, environments, and routines so they are accessible and achievable.
