We are powered by a national network of expertise, skills, knowledge and resources and we’re committed to sharing our learnings and best practice to raise standards of care and education across the UK.

We support over 1800 individuals across our adults and children’s services.
More than 95% of the individuals we support are placed with us through their Local Authority who trust us to deliver the very best care, support and education on their behalf.
We work in partnerships with over 200 Commissioners across England and Wales as a trusted partner.
We work at a local level with Transforming Care Partnerships to enable individuals with histories of long hospital stays and/or forensic backgrounds to live meaningful lives in the community.
All of our children’s homes are rated Good or Outstanding by our regulators.
