Linwood House
Linwood House has an occupancy of 3 children of any gender aged between 16 and 18 years old. We can provide accommodation for young people up until their 19th Birthday if this is identified as a part of their care plan and enables them to complete their education or training course and provide continued consistency to their day to day lives.
Upon arrival or as a part of the transition period, all children are encouraged to personalise their bedroom, so to encourage a deeper sense of connection and safety within their home. They are provided with toiletries, new bedding, towels and a TV to help them settle into their space.
Pathway 360 Care runs a 6 week assessment period for each of the children when they come to stay with us and this helps to identify the areas in which they require the most support, as well as areas of interest and establishes the core aims of the placement. This process is held in collaboration with the child, professionals and parents where appropriate.
Pathway 360 Care utilises a trauma informed approach, coupled with the two hands of parenting as a way to best support our young people in their journey towards independence.
