Place With Us

Avanti Children Services

Finding the right home for a child or young person is a crucial decision. At Avanti Children Services, we are committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment where children can thrive and achieve their full potential. Here’s how you can place a child with us.

Our Placement Process

Referral and Assessment

Our referral process is designed to ensure that each child’s individual needs are thoroughly assessed and matched with the appropriate care. The process includes:

Provide detailed information, including the child’s history, needs, and any relevant assessments.

We conduct a comprehensive assessment to determine the suitability of our home for the child, considering the current residents and the specific needs of the referred child.

Placement Planning

Once a child is deemed suitable for placement at Jasmine House, we develop a detailed Placement Plan in collaboration with the child, their family, social workers, and other professionals. This plan includes:

Daily routines, educational support, and health care.

Strategies for managing emotions and behaviours.

Short-term and long-term goals tailored to the child’s development and well-being.

Transition and Settling In

We understand that moving to a new home can be challenging for children. Our transition process is designed to help children settle in comfortably:

The child visits Jasmine House to meet our team and other residents.

On arrival, the child is introduced to their new surroundings, routines, and key carers.

We provide ongoing emotional and practical support to help the child adjust to their new environment.

Emergency Placements

In certain circumstances, we can accommodate emergency placements. These are handled with the utmost care and urgency to ensure the child’s immediate safety and well-being. Our emergency placement process includes:

Quick yet thorough assessment of the child’s needs.

Ensuring the child’s immediate needs are met.

Developing a comprehensive Placement Plan within 24 hours of admission.
