Achievements

At Direct Care we are proud to be able to recognise the many and varied achievements of our young people, behavioural and emotional, that demonstrate what can be done with enough care and attention. We believe every young person deserves the chance and opportunities to develop and feel the progress and development of our young people proves that. This page is dedicated to the achievements of those in our care of whom all the staff are immensely proud.

 

These achievements are a huge testament to the young people at the homes...

Belview Lodge

Belview: ‘All our young people achieve school daily and are on time with no issues which is a huge achievement in itself and testament to their development.’

‘SB has made good progress in Education since arriving and can now read and write at a much better level than he could when he first arrived.’

‘TD is attending mainstream school daily and is achieving in all subjects. She is in the school booklet this month for achieving in English and is also at College every Friday studying child care.’

‘PT is attending Education every day and is at a better level all round than he was when he arrived. He is incredibly talented with his hands and since arriving has made rabbit runs among a host of other items.’

‘AC is the best pupil in Education and achieving every day. She has also taken up the violin and piano again.’

Lower Lodge

‘HL achieved 3 GCSEs at C grade and is now attending Moulton College on a fulltime basis where she is undertaking a general education course teaching her life skills and animal care.’

‘JM has just secured a place at mainstream school. He only started today, however has had to wear a uniform for the first time in two years and this is a great credit to him.’

‘TR has just started to undertake some ASDAN work at the home with the tutor. She is really engaging well with education at the home and is producing some good work.’

Eden Lodge

‘NP arrived at Eden Lodge in December 2009, when his main problems were absconding, not attending school and being violent and aggressive towards his mum and authoritative figures.’

‘NP now attends full time education with minor blips but a 98% attendance. He now has regular home contact with his mum who believes he is a changed boy and will listen to what she says. As a result he will be back living with his Family by December 2010.’

‘NP has taken part in numerous activities and events at Eden Lodge, the latest of which has been a walk up Snowdon for Help for Heroes.’

‘JL arrived at Eden Lodge in June 2010 and at the time refused education and placed himself at risk with self harm and socializing with undesirables. JL has worked really well at Eden Lodge with only one instance of self harm and now has free time that he chooses to take at the fishing lake and the cinema. JL has also requested to take part in education and has supported staff with the application process. He will be starting full time education in the next month.’

‘MH has settled into Eden Lodge very well and as a result of staff support is feeling comfortable and able to start work with YOT about his feelings and actions. He has taken part in numerous activities and events while at Eden Lodge, the latest of which is a walk up Snowdon for Help for Heroes.’
