We believe that creating a safe and nurturing environment is essential for children and young people’s social, emotional and cognitive development. At CATE-UK, we offer high quality accommodation situated within safe communities, family friendly areas, with parks, beaches and mountains within reach. We aim to foster well-rounded development and a feeling of security, which is crucial to the overall wellbeing of the children and young people.

We also offer accommodation-only options where Local Authorities can use their own staff and / or commission support staff.

Arrangements for admission

An assessment will be completed prior to admittance and consideration given to the compatibility of the children/young people.  A meeting will be held with the referring Local Authority’s Social Worker to gather relevant information, to consider the needs of the child/young person and to discuss any risks identified. A clear plan on how to manage, reduce or mitigate these risks will be agreed and documented.

We will facilitate transport to our home on request. Upon arrival, the child/young person will be given a tour of their new residence and surroundings, ensuring that they feel welcomed and supported. We will provide a welcome pack which will include basic toiletries, personal care items, age-appropriate toys and a journal.
