Live
Quality of Life- My3 aims to care and support each person to live a life worth living. Focused upon the physical, social, emotional and mental wellbeing of each person. Care planning is person-centred, with the input of those who know each person best, the child, young person or adult, families, schools, social workers and other professionals. Each person is respected, cared for and supported, their wellbeing and rights safeguarded.
Person-centred- Each person is at the centre of all care and support, where all care is planned around the individual. We understand every person has individual needs, likes & dislikes, values & beliefs. All care and support aims to enable each person to reach their full potential.
Learn
Skilled Teams- Therapeutic Services is responsible for supporting the assessment of individual care needs and identifying the appropriate care skills required to meet those needs. When required, therapeutic services will support care teams to access specialist training. Therapeutic services oversee all training competencies for our skilled care teams. Additionally, care teams are supported to develop understanding and engage in appropriate positive interventions via clinical consultations, reflective practice and care planning meetings.
Understanding- Therapeutic Services support care teams to develop a greater understanding of a person’s individual needs via assessment and formulation. Our team will engage, where appropriate, with each child, young person or adult, families, social workers, schools and other professionals to ensure a multi-disciplinary approach to our understanding and initial care plans. We recognise understanding a person’s needs is an ongoing and changing process. We support teams who consistently learn and adapt their approaches to care, via functional analysis, regular consultations, reflective practice sessions and engagement in care planning meetings
Grow
Safe & Effective- Internal and environmental safety is an important component of healthy development. We require a safe environment and safe relationships to grow, enabling development of sense of self, engagement in positive relationships and confidence to develop independence skills. We provide safe homes and houses and consider environmental needs of each person within assessment. As well as supporting risk assessment and care planning of positive risk taking.
