Our GRIP services provide placements for young people who have been criminally exploited to operate in gangs and also young people at risk of being radicalised. These young people are often labelled as offenders and we are committed to protecting communities whilst being ambitious for the young people to help them overcome their difficulties. We focus on the child first and contextualise any offences they may have committed.

Our GRIP services provide an integrated co-located model where care, clinical and education are all based on-site. Our homes are Ofsted registered and the on-site schools are registered as independent schools with the DfE. We offer small group sizes and high staff to student ratios. The homes also provide a clinical suite generally attached to the on-site school. This is a separate area which enables the young people to discuss their trauma in confidence.

Our CSE homes offer planned placements for one year. Our focus is to support young people through their three phase recovery programme in order for them to transition to longer term sustainable placements.
