Residential Family Centre
RAE provides a safe and nurturing home for families while they undergo a parenting assessment.
RAE provides accommodation for up to 6 families. During their residential assessment, RAE will support parents in developing their parenting style safely, and staff will be on hand to offer support and guidance tailored to each family's needs. The family will undergo a fair, robust, and evidence-based assessment, and the final report will formulate clear recommendations intended to contribute to the child(ren) 's final care plan. Parents will also be encouraged to develop their independent living skills throughout the placement in preparation for independent living. RAE will work in partnership with families and professionals to share information, celebrate achievements, and address concerns.

At Bridgeway Support, we pride ourselves on completing high-quality parenting assessments. We use the Parent Assess model, which is now the most widely recognised and accepted specialist parenting assessment framework in the country.
All assessments are adapted to meet the individual needs of each family and the directions from the referring authority. Our fully trained social workers have over a decade of experience assessing families and have an excellent reputation with Local Authorities and the courts.
Trauma Informed

At Bridgeway Support, we understand that many of our young people, families and staff have experienced Trauma. As such, we ensure that the service's trauma-informed practices weave through all aspects. Our Trauma-Informed statement shows how we have adapted our service to become more Trauma-Informed. This approach ensures that every person using the service is understood and has opportunities to understand, manage and address their experiences of Trauma. Furthermore, adopting this approach reduces conflict, placements breaking down and further harm to mental health. To commit further to this approach, we have staff trained to deliver the Bee Kind Trauma-Informed parenting course to resident and community parents.
Continuity of support
Parenting assessments
Opportunity to achieve personal goals
We recognise how daunting moving on can be for families and young people and are committed to making this a positive process. When the time is right, we support housing applications, moving in, and making this a home. We understand the significant adverse effects that service changes can have, particularly on young people, when they lose trusted staff members or transition to new services. This understanding has driven us to expand Bridgeway's services, ensuring that we can provide consistent support that wraps around our service users as their needs evolve. Our flexible staff team continues working with the same young people as they become independent. We are committed to this relationship model of support, believing that it will help build resilience, increase the success of interventions, and prevent needs from being missed. This continuity ensures consistent feedback and information is shared with the Local Authority, promoting safety, positive futures and collaborative working.

Opportunity to achieve personal goals
At Bridgeway Support, we believe in empowering our service users. We want everyone to identify and achieve their goals, hopes, and dreams. We support young people in accessing their Local Offer, becoming financially stable, learning to cook, look after their own health, manage a home, apply for training or employment, and start to access local services. We use the Moving On booklet to prepare for independence and target areas of development and support. Everyone's aspirations are different, and the journey to take that path forward is unique. We trust our service users to lead the way in our person-lead approach to intervention. We take the time to develop relationships with our residents to foster a trusting, respectful relationship that supports growth and change.

Our commitment to safeguarding
Bridgeway Support believes everyone accessing our service deserves a secure, stable and caring environment, which will encourage growth and change. We are committed to ensuring the safety of everyone in our care. Safeguarding will be at the heart of all our interventions, and this is best achieved by working in partnership with service users.
All staff members are carefully selected, possess a safeguarding qualification, and receive additional training on our safeguarding policies and procedures. We have a dedicated safeguarding team with extensive experience and training.
The safety and well-being of all service users are overseen by the managing director, the responsible individual, resident social workers, and the key worker team. We collaborate with placing authorities to ensure that information is shared promptly and efficiently, while adhering to data protection regulations. This approach helps us address risk assessments and safeguarding concerns collectively.
Passionate about equality
Opportunity to achieve personal goals
Our commitment to safeguarding
At Bridgeway Support, we believe that no adult, young person, or child should be disadvantaged by their life background or lived experience. We value everyone for who they are, what they are, and what they bring. We embrace difference and the growth potential this brings for all.
We believe every adult, young person and child has the right to support appropriate to them as individuals, which promotes personal life chances, and provides them with an effective means to negotiate their path beyond their placement with us. To demonstrate this commitment further, we have ensured that staff have a good understanding of neurodiversity and that both the environment and interventions are adapted to meet the needs of the individual. Adopting this approach also benefits the service users as they can better understand their functioning and how it impacts their daily lives.
