Bourne House

Bourne House is a residential service for two young people aged 8 years to 18 years who need to be looked after by the Local Authority and who require a clear and planned stable placement. As the age range implies we acknowledge the importance of clear structured planning for young people who will eventually need to move on towards independence and the environment and supportive structures in place facilitate this effectively.

Ideally situated for those young people who require an intensively supported placement away from peer group and other adverse influences.

The staff team are experienced with working with young people who show a wide range of challenging behaviors and work with them to channel these to more positive results. Young people are able to pursue academic achievements via The Farringdon Centre located in Salisbury city centre within 15 minutes from the unit.

There are many varied activities that are on offer within the surrounding area. This has proven results with young people where they are able to feel more positive about education and learning especially if a school environment has been a negative experience for them in the past.

The young person placed at Bourne also has the opportunity to engage with peers at some of our local homes where appropriate.

Each Young Person is provided with a specific individualised package that is regularly reviewed with them and with the placing authority.

We are also proactive is assisting, through an assessment process, the placing authority to identify the most suitable placement for the young person to move on to and in helping with the transition process.
