What makes it a therapeutic community:

We strive to create warm, family style homes and yet work intensively with children and young people to empower them to achieve their full potential.  We believe that how children develop within the home environment – that living and learning together – are as important as more formal treatment and that the two are closely integrated and inform each other

Involvement and Links with other professional organisations:

We are active members of the Charterhouse Group, the ATC, NCB, SCA.

Ongoing research, audit programmes, and/or effectiveness or quality procedures in place:

We are monitored both internally and by Pan London and OfSted.  Our inspection reports are on our website and reflect our high standards.  All communities gained ‘Oustanding’ at last inspections.
