After redundancy from the Local Authority I was asked to help the above company change their policies and procedures and develop a new way of working, turning homes into therapeutic environments that encouraged personal change. I wrote new policies and procedures and worked to adopt a new approach to working with this group before accepting the aforementioned manager's job to implement the changes. The ways of working designed were therapeutic and designed to support young people who had suffered significant trauma resulting in them being accommodated or looked after by the local authority.
