290610 - 'In Loco Perentis'

In their publication 'In Loco Perentis', Demos have identified a number of areas that are key to both positive experiences for Looked After Children in care and also improved 'Outcomes'. We, like many of you within the sector are going to work through the 300 page document but at this early stage would like to point out some early bulletpoints that Demos identify as changes that are needed, and how Halliwell Homes already fulfil them.

"A strong body of evidence and our own primary research shows the most positive experiences of care, and the best outcomes for looked-after children, to be associated with the following three factors:

• early intervention and minimum delay
• stability during care
• supported transitions to independence"

Demos, 'In Loco Perentis', pp.9

 

Halliwell Homes offeres an exceptional level of support for both planned and emergency placements. We offer our full support as soon as a referral is given and can facilitate case reviews within our clinically informed practice to make sure that authorities can identify the correct placement for the young person, be that with Halliwell Homes or not. Our clinical team is constantly engaged within the organisation, as such is able to be in place with 'minimal delay' making sure that each placement is fully supported from day one of referral.

Placements within Halliwell Homes are conistantly stable. This is achieved through the combination of an experienced staff team, but just as crutially the support of the Pillars of Parenting. Engagement through psychology at all levels of our care allows for our residential teams to contextualise and more appropriatly respond to challenging behavioir. The result; stable placements.

A smooth transition to independance is - as identified within the Demos report - is vital. This is why our recovery programme has developed to allow for a number of transitional periods which create and demonstrate progress to the young person. This includes a semi indipendance unit fully supported by our clinically informed practice model but with the freedoms, trust and responsibility that is vital to engender growth within the young person.
