Things to note
Homes
At Sandwell House and Sandwell Lodge children’s homes they pride ourselves on providing a homely, nurturing environment which encourages young people to grow and develop, while offering support and mentoring from staff, when needed.Each home includes appropriate facilities for recreation and leisure, areas for private study, a dining area and kitchen. Pupils are encouraged to personalise their own areas, including choosing their own bed linen. Daily routines such as keeping their rooms neat and tidy and assisting with minor domestic chores are also set.
Therapeutic Approach
As required, young people have the support of our Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Therapists, Speech and Language Therapists and Occupational Therapists. The commitment to delivering outstanding therapeutic support to all young people is based on attachment principles. We believe that unless a young person is able to feel emotionally secure they are less likely to fulfil their personal, social and educational potential. The unique approach to supporting young people allows us to achieve uniquely outstanding outcomes, which in turn enable the young people to go on to realise a future filled with aspiration and achievement.
