Our Response Services offer short-term, activity-based therapeutic placements for young people who require immediate support.
We provide a safe, nurturing, and empowering environment where young people can begin to stabilise, heal, and grow. Our goal is to help them transition to longer-term placements with greater independence and confidence. This may include reunification home, step down to fostering services or residential care.
Our integrated service ensures that every child is supported throughout their assessment from our own highly qualified clinical team.
We believe in the power of positive experiences. Our activity-based model uses outdoor adventure—like mountaineering, canoeing, sailing, and mountain biking—to build confidence, resilience, and a sense of achievement. Many of our staff hold national qualifications in these disciplines, ensuring safe and enriching experiences.
We provide children’s response services across the UK – including North Wales and Cumbria
“The Head Teacher and her team have been exceptional in helping my child transition into education. They quickly identified both strengths and areas needing further support, conducting assessments to guide future planning. My child’s transition into school was well-managed, child-cantered, and highly supportive. This process included home visits from the Head Teacher, social stories at a level appropriate for my child, and taster session, all of which helped build a strong foundation of safety and trust, making the experience of moving school much smoother for my child.”

"The staff team supporting my young person have gone above and beyond to ensure his safety and to assist him with developing his independence skills. The young person has been through extremely difficult situations during his time supported by the team and this has included mental health crises, exploitation concerns, substance misuse and risky relationships."
