Children & Families
|
PSS works with children and their families to assist them in raising healthy and happy children, and to improve the lives of those children who are less fortunate than others. Ensuring children develop in to well rounded adults is one of our top priorities so we ensure that we give children all the support that they require to give them a purpose in their life.
We currently work with around 1000 children, young people and their families across England, Scotland and Wales. By means of innovative, specifically targeted services we aim to help children and their families overcome the impact of disadvantage and disability. Our aim is to make children and their parents happy together so that they may reach their potential.
The key to all of this is professionalism. Caring without a professional approach and infrastructure does not work. At PSS staff are trained, qualifications and standards are professional, outcomes are monitored and assessed. It shows in the number of statutory authorities who now commission PSS to ensure that they fulfil their obligations. Above all, it shows in the thousands of vulnerable people who, thanks to PSS standards and commitment, are today leading fuller, happier, more independent lives.
Below you will find a breakdown of the Children and Family services we provide:
Family Resource Centre
We work closely with the families of children who have a wide range of disabilities as well as providing fun and engaging activities for the children to enjoy.
Young Carers Projects
We work to support children and young people who have undertaken a significant caring role within their home for a relative who may be suffering from an illness or a disability.
Toy Libraries
We provide good quality educational toys for local communities in a variety of settings where parents and young children meet.
Counselling and Play Therapy
We work hard to make a difference to the positive mental health of children and young people, including asylum seekers and refugees.
Crisis Counselling
This service element is available to anyone experiencing issues such as a family breakdown or bereavement.
Leaving Care Services
We work with young people who feel they need support as they move into independent living.
Adult Placement
We provide alternative family care for vulnerable adults, including single parents and children who cannot live independently because of their support requirements.
To make sure our services are carried out in a professional manner, PSS ensures that all of our staff are professionally qualified, carefully selected team members, who help develop individual, personal plans for the people it supports.
PSS is built on reputation and credibility, derived from long experience and a good track record. We find an active role for children and young people on many decision-making forums. We provide flexible services which are adaptable to meet the needs of changing pressures affecting children and their families that are good value for money.
