Moving to Caridon Young Living
We know that a big move can feel overwhelming
But don’t worry! Our friendly staff are always here to guide you every step of the way.
From your first day
Right from day one, a child will have a key worker to support them. A key worker is a member of staff who will help the child settle into the home and get them familiar with the house's routines.
Respect and dignity
Every child and young person will be treated with dignity and respect and have access to a home which values them as a person and welcomes their contribution.
Make it your own space
At Caridon Young Living every child will have access to their own fully furnished bedroom. Each child will be given the opportunity to personalise their room and this will be supported in discussions with their keyworker.
