PARENTS & CARERS
Pro Youth staff really value the partnership between home and our provision and we believe it is extremely important that parents/carers feel comfortable in talking to us about their needs or the needs of their family. We are here to listen!
Pro Youth staff can arrange a home visit to discuss the individual needs of the family in more detail.
Assessment Process
Part of the Pro Youth induction process involves the assessment of the child or young person's strengths and needs. This will be undertaken through an informal discussion (usually at your home) with the child or young person and/or other family members. This assessment will help us to identify what support is required.
​
Time and care will be taken to ensure the assessment is based on good communication and undertaken with respect for all parties. A 'good' assessment will help us to create an individual tailored support package that will meet the needs of the whole family.
Young Person's Voice
Pro Youth understand the importance of the voice of the Young Person. We believe giving Young People a voice helps them to become empowered, to feel valued and to gain a sense of belonging.
​Our staff take the time to get to know each Young Person, what they enjoy, what their concerns are and what are their aspirations.
Our programmes and support packages are meaningful, we always ask for feedback and contributions which help to ensure that our offer is relevant to need.
Co-production of plans, assessments and reviews - we encourage Young People to participate in the creation of these documents that can impact their lives.
​
We believe that when Young People are involved in the decision making process, their engagement and positive outcomes become more achievable.
