Our vision is for our young people to grow and achieve beyond all expectations
We believe all young people have the right to a safe place to live and learn, where they are listened to, cared for and understood. By putting the young person at the centre, we give them the space to be themselves, nurture their hopes and aspirations, challenge perceptions and represent them fairly. We speak using their language and build trust through relationships and compassion, not institutions. We support repair and to heal the traumas our young people have experienced, so that they can live the full, rich lives they deserve.
Our project starts with a shared responsibility. No young person who we care for is simply a person in care, a patient, or a pupil. They are the young people of Somerset. All agencies work together in an integrated way, working around traditional barriers and division to provide resilient care, coherent plans, and focussed education.
