Regional offices

Wiltshire
The Salisbury office remains the primary site of the family placement services and was initially developed as a result of providing family placements for young people leaving the Five Rivers residential homes. Since then the service has continued to develop and the office is presently working towards new developments.

Five Rivers in Devon & Cornwall was established in 2001. The registered office is on the outskirts of Exeter, easily accessible from the M5 and A 30 and with good rail links. This offers an excellent venue for meetings, reviews and contact, especially helpful for those authorities travelling some distance to placements in the West Country.

We have respite carers for established placements and we can also offer flexible peripatetic respite care and support. We are able to offer very experienced assessments for parent and child placements and skilled supervision of contact. All our carers are currently undertaking their CWDC Induction. Our carers are trained in Attachment Theory and we have a robust, on-going programme of workshops in order to provide professional and competent foster carers to meet the needs of the children and young people we look after.

We are able to offer venues as well as experienced and trained supervisors for contact. We will provide written observations within 48 hours.
