Our Practice Model
Our practice model is based upon Clinically Informed Practice.
This has developed from our use of a wide range of care professionals within each placement based on need. These include, chartered child psychologists, play therapists, psychotherapists, Qualified Health professionals, cognitive psychologists and more.
At Halliwell, we have a developed Continual Professional Development (CPD) programme. This is a major part of our practice model as it is of vital importance that our staff are able to be working towards and develop practice within a psychological and professional basis. To this end, all our staff have been trained within the "Pillars of Parenting" framework and are working towards a Foundation Degree in Professional Childcare. Further training has been completed with the clinical team on identifying and managing ADHD, Aspbergers Syndrome and complex learning difficulties. Individuals are also participating within the NVQ and QCF development programmes.
Every member of our Practice Team follows a Continuing Professional Development program that responds to the needs of the young people in our care. With this higher level of knowledge and understanding they are then able to respond to displayed behaviours with a greater level of insight and communicate within a psychological framework to the clinical team.
Please find below a list of the services we are in partnership with, their websites and some brief information on their work within the Halliwell organisation.
"The Pillars of Parenting are a social enterprise project which looks to bring a model of care which is both pedagogic and psychologically based within all levels of care. We support the Pillars of Parenting though the theory we have developed, the training we supply, the access to charted child psychologists and the programs and strategies that we develop which is unique for each child.
Through our long running partnership with Halliwell, we have created a relationship which holistically supports any child in their care with the very best of professional care and psychological support."
"Our commitment is to ensure that the child or young person remains the focus of everything we offer and everything we do. We are passionate in our belief that every child deserves every opportunity to achieve their potential. Each child will be given our very best attention, knowledge, insight and skill. Our services reflect current thinking about good practice and are underpinned by the substantial knowledge and experience of each member of our Team. We always seek feedback from those professionals who refer to us so that we can evaluate our effectiveness and continue to develop to the advantage of every child and family we seek to help."
