The WhiteTrees Group provides safe secure therapeutic residential child care and education needs, catering for young people with complex behaviour within a caring and homely environment.

Our approach places our young people first and has been engineered to ensure that each child can express themselves appropriately. We believe that young people treated within a warm and positive family environment and given privacy, freedom and choice will flourish.

WhiteTrees Residential children’s homes each have a team of highly skilled and well-qualified professionals trained to deliver therapeutic residential child care. They have all the necessary experience to handle not only a wide range of emotional and behavioural difficulties including attachment disorders, sexualized behaviour, offending behaviours and eating disorders but also to provide crisis intervention and deal with adverse episodes of varying severity.

Our success is supported by an in-depth model of work which covers all aspects of the individual child’s psychology from attachment to trauma with regular clinical input from our in-house psychologist and psychotherapist.

The WhiteTrees Group views education as a vital part of turning children’s’ lives around. We understand that past learning may have included episodes leading to disaffection and that many young people arriving at WhiteTrees might have undiagnosed learning difficulties. We offer a full service of educational psychological assessment and an individual programme for each child which, where appropriate, includes vocational study to help our young people to be ready for opportunities for employment. We aim to ensure that learning can be creative, adventurous, fun, diverse and, most of all, successful.

These are all important parts of a programme which ensures that the WhiteTrees Group is Building Brighter Futures for looked after children.
