“I feel that making a warm and safe home environment for children is the basic first step for them to flourish. I have experience working in a trauma-informed way and combining this with a therapeutic parenting approach. This enables children to understand that the adults in the home acknowledge their experiences and will be there to support them.
I believe that the adults around the child need to ensure that the care that they provide is tailored to the individual’s needs, taking into consideration their views, wishes and feelings and advocating for them to ensure that their voices are heard.
Each team member brings a set of skills that enable us to provide a very positive and upbeat environment for the children. I believe that open communication between the home and all professionals involved in the child’s care is pertinent to achieving positive outcomes.”
