Why choose Blue Springs?
Services.
Assessment and support pathways shaped around each family.
Structured parenting assessments in a calm, supportive residential setting. Residential assessments give families time and space to demonstrate strengths, engage with support and work towards the goals set out in the referral.
Evidence-led assessment delivered while a family remains in its own community. Community assessments consider parenting practice within the family’s usual routines, relationships and support network.
A specialist assessment framework for parents with learning disabilities or additional needs. ParentAssess supports practitioners to adapt communication, teaching and assessment so that parents can understand the process and demonstrate their abilities.
Planned support that helps families move from residential assessment towards greater independence, with time to consolidate learning, build confidence and prepare for life with less intensive support.
A safe, professional environment for supported and supervised family time. Children and family members spend time together in a calm, neutral setting with arrangements tailored to the referral.
Inside Blue Springs.
Calm, homely settings and practical support for every stage of an assessment.
Every family deserves to be heard, understood and supported.
