Beck Practice Model
Beck house has a small, evenly mixed team of 6 staff plus the Registered Manager, who pride themselves on good clear communication and consistency within their work, providing high standards of role modelling for, encouraging learning naturally in an ‘osmosis’ style.
A single named link worker will be provided to the young person from the team, whose role will be to act as a liaison between them and outside agencies including their placing authority. Although this is the case we at Beck house work very much as a ‘body of link workers’ when working with each young person.
The team work closely with our head of therapeutic services Peter Kelly, DPSE Dip Psych UKCP/UKATC Registered Psychotherapist.
He provides support and guidance to the Manager and staff team through regularly arranged consultation. He enables the team to identify particular behaviours, analyse them and develop strategies to help young people manage them, forming part of a behaviour management programme.
Further to this all staff under go CRISEES (Creative Rapid Intervention Strategies for Emotional Support) training with Russell Henderson M.N.C.P. This is a new and innovative method of physical intervention, focussed on deflection, distraction and diffusion techniques with the benefit of disengagement and physical supports.
