Delivering Stability,
Support & Success
Welcome to Budwood
Budwood Limited is a private company that provides accommodation, care and support to young people. Budwood has a range of services:
- Registered Children’s Homes
- Semi- Independent Accommodation for young people aged 16+
- Outreach support for care leavers living in their own flats
Our homes cater for young people ranging in age from 12–18 years. Young people who live in a Budwood home may have needs associated with emotional and behavioural difficulties, and may have experienced loss, trauma and abuse.
Specifically we work with a broad range of complex needs, which include:
- Social and emotional difficulties
- Attachment Disorder
- Criminal exploitation
- Child sexual exploitation
- Substance misuse
Young people are usually placed with Budwood from local authority referrals and placements include:
- Residential short term or long term respite placements for families
- Full placement care for young people who are unable to live with their families
- Emergency placements if the initial assessment confirms suitability and ensures the needs of young people can be met by the staff team.
The aim of the service is to provide young people with a stable comfortable home, where they will be receive high levels of support and guidance to keep them safe and help them learn and develop the necessary skills to enable them a smooth and successful transition into independence and adulthood.
Therapeutic input is integral within the support services provided by Budwood – all staff are trained in developmental trauma and therapeutic parenting.

Our Approach
We have developed our own C.A.T.C.H ® therapeutic model for working with young people who have suffered trauma, abuse or neglect, and need continued support to manage their emotional regulation and behaviours.
Our therapeutic model of supporting young people brings together elements from the models and theoretical approaches used in the field of developmental trauma.
Support & Services
Budwood provides young people with 24-hour support. At least one member of staff will be available at all times in the home.
Support is delivered by a staff team who have undertaken training in:
- developmental trauma and therapeutic parenting
- caring for a child with an attachment disorder
- de-escalation and managing behaviour
We recognise that the majority of young people referred to our service may have experienced loss, adverse childhood experiences, or previous placement breakdowns with foster parents. They need the support of trained staff who are responsive, calm and accepting.
The staff team is provided with clinical supervision from a qualified therapist in trauma and attachment.
