Behavioural Management

Our behavioural management approach is rooted in understanding, empathy, and positive reinforcement. We aim to support children in developing self-regulation skills and confidence by fostering a safe and structured environment. Behavioural challenges are addressed through a personalised approach, recognising the individual needs and circumstances of each child.

Learning Disability

Our service provides support to understand and meet the health needs of children with learning disabilities. We are able to offer a service when a child requires specialist support arising from their learning disability and its impact on their health. Our learning disability service provides assessment, consultation and support for children from the age of 6 - 16 who have a learning disability.

Our Approach

Individualised Care

We focus on each child’s unique needs, ensuring that every care plan is personalized to support their physical, emotional, and developmental well-being. We see each child as an individual, not just part of a system.

Collaborative Support

At Forest-Dene, we work closely with schools, healthcare providers, and local organizations to ensure that each child receives well-rounded, integrated support. This teamwork ensures that their needs are met both inside and outside our house.

Family Engagement

We actively involve families in the care process, offering them guidance, resources, and support to help their children succeed. We know that a strong family connection is key to a child’s development and well-being.
