Sockburn House is a supported accommodation that provides safe, secure, supportive, and nurturing environments for young people aged 16-25 years, transitioning to independent living. Our care home is designed to give young people the essential life skills, build confidence, and achieve personal growth

in a place they can call a home. Our young people may have experienced complex trauma, child abuse, emotional abuse, child exploitation, substance abuse, neurodevelopmental disorder and learning disabilities. ​
 

Our home provides a care model centred on positive parenting, where relationships built on mutual trust thrive within a framework of fair, clear, and socially appropriate boundaries. We implement the Positive Behaviour Support Principles across our homes, focusing on a person-centred, educational, and proactive approach that promotes individuals' self-sufficiency and safety. We work closely with other professionals, including social workers, educators, CAMHS, health services, and partner agencies, to provide comprehensive support for the young people in our care. Everything we do is directed towards achieving this aim. Flexibility and choice within appropriate amounts of structure is one of our strengths, coupled with person-centred planning.

​

We encourage and enable the young people we support to lead a full and happy life. We work with them to ensure they have more choice and control in their lives. We find out their strengths, abilities and preferences so that the care provided can be as person-centred and meaningful to each individual as possible.

​

Sockburn House provides a homely environment in manners that are specifically designed to meet the needs of young person in our care. The home is a two-storey town house with three spacious double bedrooms. All bedrooms are single occupancy, two of the bedrooms are with en-suite, a kitchen and dining space, a utility room, a lounge area, and the staff office. The overall ambience is welcoming with a focus on light and space that immediately create a sense of home for our young people. Externally we have a garden at the back, for individuals to take part in sports and activities as well as a green space for them to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. Our young people have bright, functional spaces to call their own, with the freedom to create the kind of personal environment they feel good about.
