Registered Manager, Residential Children’s Home 1

“Our service has improved our OFSTED rating from “Requires Improvement” rating to “Outstanding” due to implicating Meadows Psychology Service (MPS).

MPS supports the team to support the young people in our care and provides a model of care, which has been our most significant change over the last 2 years. The change in approach takes some time to embed into our practice but really is worth the time and effort when working with children with deep routed trauma….

MPS are not just about our young people, but if any of the staff or management need support, they are there to support with this too. This is something that OFSTED were impressed with… I cannot recommend the service higher. I feel that the service they provide will be an OFSTED requirement in the future, so you may as well implement it now and be ahead of the other services and provide an OUTSTANDING service.”
