About Us
Childrens residential care with a difference
Philosophy
Midlands Care Services is a company dedicated to the care and education of the most vulnerable children and young people in our society. We provide care for children and young people in modern homes to ensure there is a comfortable environment in which to thrive. Our mission is to improve opportunities for those in our care so that they can progress ahead and live fulfilled and enriched lives.
To achieve these objectives we believe that children and young people require:
-
A caring environment that is safe, stable, nurturing and non-judgmental.
-
Carers who are firm in their approach but understanding and compassionate.
-
Carers who enjoy caring for children and young people.
-
Thoughtful, considered and informed approaches to the development and implementation of care programmes to meet individual need.
Children and young people in care have had lots of different experiences. Many have been rejected or experienced something traumatic. Others have moved homes many times. We actively encourage development in terms of facilitating their growth to help reach and exceed their potential.
We are on a mission to make a lasting and lifelong difference to children’s lives.
