Last month, our Workforce Development team joined by our Head of People Partnering took some time to reflect, reconnect, and refocus during a fantastic Group Supervision Session.

They spent dedicated time reviewing our Values & Behaviour Framework, ensuring it continues to reflect through our training and development opportunities. Open, thoughtful conversations helped us align on how our values show up in real, everyday actions.

A key focus of the day was also Neurodiversity in the Workplace led by our colleague Debbie with lived experience — understanding how we can better support neurodivergent colleagues through inclusive practices, awareness, and a commitment to flexibility and psychological safety.

It was a day of real insight, meaningful collaboration, and shared purpose.

Inspiring Stories - Family Voices

We are excited to be sharing a series of films over the coming months from parents of people who live within our services. Inspiring stories that highlight the importance of putting people first and supporting progress every step of the way.

This month, we're featuring Nick, the father of Jack, who lives at Meadow View. In this clip, Nick talks about why he feels it's important that Jack has access to live in this particular type of environment.

Ethan’s Journey to Reconnecting with Family & Community

*Ethan's goal has always been to rebuild connections—with his family, his local community in London, and even the police. Through a step-by-step, person-centred approach, his incredible support team helped him develop trust, overcome fears, and embrace new experiences.

Building Trust – By forming links with the local police, Ethan overcame his fear and built positive relationships.

Family Reconnection – He welcomed his siblings into his home, joined family outings, and progressed to overnight visits—culminating in a three-week Christmas stay at home!

New Opportunities – Ethan has also explored employment and now works daily in the domestic store.

After seven years of steady progress, Ethan is now ready for the next step, returning to his local community. A huge well done to Ethan and everyone who has supported him on this journey!
