Supplementary Information
Objectives of the Leicestershire Family Residential Centre:
Children and Families Services have identified the need to provide increasing numbers of placements for parents and their children to assess parenting capacity where the courts have directed this.
Families utilising this type of service may include parents with moderate to high learning needs, those presenting with issues around domestic violence, and or substance /alcohol misuse. Additionally, they may have experienced mental ill health and/or trauma.
There have been limited family residential placements available in the local region. This new provision will allow for families to have a placement local to their communities, improving outcomes for the families and children.
This provision will take a therapeutic needs-based approach to ensure that the support to each child and family receives is the most appropriate to their specific needs.
This provision will focus on the following principles intended to improve outcomes:
* Self- contained family flats as part of a safe and structured living environment
* Residential workers who are warm and responsive
* Tailored support, role modelling and mentoring to support parenting with a focus on children's behaviour, attachment, family relationships and children's development
* Therapeutic support and relationships
* Trauma-informed approaches
Assessment of risk and need
The aim of the service is to assess and support parenting within a nurturing high-quality environment. The centre will meet the needs of children and families who have experienced trauma, neglect, rejection, and whose basic needs have not been met. The centre will provide a truly therapeutic environment that can support parents to reflect and develop their parent skills in a supported and structured environment to meet the needs of their children and families during the period of the parenting assessment, providing support to the parents to respond to their children's needs and to safeguard and promote their children's welfare, develop their resilience and prepare them for the demands of future life with their own families or in other settings.
