Osmington Practice Model
Our aim is to provide a home for each young person where they feel valued and safe and are able to begin to work through the effects of childhood trauma. We believe that every child is unique and individual; in view of this, each young person has their own bespoke care package which is developed to suit their needs based on the framework of the five outcomes of Every Child Matters, in partnership with the placing authority and where appropriate family and significant others to the young person.
Outcomes monitoring is conducted regularly throughout the placement and the young person is encouraged to be fully involved in all the processes surrounding his or her care at Osmington house.
Regular consultation is sought from the young person, placing authority, family and significant others as part of all processes of care planning and outcomes monitoring. A single designated link worker will be assigned to the young person from within the team, their role will be to act as a liaison between the young person and outside agencies including their placing authority.
Further to this all staff undergo 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.
