Our Approach
We always put the child at the centre of everything we do and consider all aspects of their care not just the needs of their condition this includes supporting other family members and enabling them to lead as normal a life as possible.
A child’s care plan will change frequently as they grow and their medical or social needs change. We will hold regular reviews to ensure that their care plan is adapted to meet these needs.
