We believe that, with the right kind of support, our service users can experience a positive and rewarding life.
Whilst some people need support with most or all everyday tasks throughout their lives, many people with learning disabilities can live quite independently with minimal support using an enabling or coaching approach.
Possitive Change
The Safehouse believe that positive change can occur through a person-centred relationship built with the service user and their support member of staff.
Some people may display challenging behaviour at times, so our assessment will be thorough, discussing behaviour triggers and positive staff interventions.
Challenging behaviour is a form of communication, and our staff will be shown how to respond within the Positive Behaviour Support Plan.
The PBS plan provides our support staff with a step-by-step guide to managing the challenging behaviour.
