It was a pleasure to meet you all in person and see the amazing work you are doing caring for some of our most vulnerable children and young people and as a business who genuinely care about and invest in their staff.

So far, my experience working with Restorative has been great, the team are friendly and keep me up to date with everything. My YP has also mentioned he has good relationships with the staff members at Grove House which shows how dedicated they are to the YP and their situations.

My experience with yourselves has been positive. 

I found you very knowledgeable at the review I held and you were able to talk about how the young person was doing and supported him to attend his review. He said that he was happy with staff and liked living at the placement and had the right support place in place.

I feel that young people placed with yourselves are well cared for, supported and encouraged to work towards independent living. 

I have worked in a multi-disciplinary capacity with Restorative, I found they showed commitment to the safety and welfare of their service users. I found them professional and friendly to work with and it was easy to communicate with them to effectively promote positive outcomes.

My experience with you and the staff has been great. Very professional, warm and welcoming and you can see the care that the staff members have for the young people. Staff are wanting to make sure that the young person has everything they need in order for them to progress. Most importantly, the staff are happy to work with staff members at Bradford College if any issues do arise to get the best possible outcome for the young people.

I have worked with Raj and her team at Birk House when supporting a young person. This was an emergency placement that was put in place last minute, with quite a complex individual. Raj and her team made this young person feel so welcome and invested time and patience into her to ensure that she transitioned into the home as comfortably as possible. The communication between Birk House and myself was always prompt, and from a nurturing perspective with regards to the YP. Raj always did her best to make sure she was available for meetings and provide the team with her support. 

Raj always welcomes intervention from The Base to support the young people residing within the homes, and training to upskill the staff. 

It is always a pleasure to work with or bump into Raj! 🙂 Thanks for all your help and support!

I have worked a lot with both Somerset House and Birk House and they have both been extremely helpful when I need their support. I can see that there has been some amazing work done with the young people and it shows when I assess them. Also thank you for your continued support.

My experience of working with Restorative at Birk House is very positive. Communication between their staff and management to our service is excellent and with the best interests of the young person at their core. I also have a young person in one of their outreach properties. Their outreach team are equally pro-active in communicating any pertinent information and we receive monthly summaries. They are also adept in providing practical support such as helping YP’s getting to appointments and starting benefit claims. All visitors have to log in to a digital register and sign out when they leave.

The placement itself is only a 5 minute drive from Huddersfield town centre and respective colleges.

I always feel reassured when I hear that one of the young people in my class are staying at Grove House. I know that Lisa and the staff are very supportive and responsive. Myself and my colleagues have a good relationship with Grove House. Contact is always easy to make and the interests and safety of the young person is clearly at the forefront of everything they do.

Thank you to the staff at Grove House for their amazing dedication that really does transform the lives of the young people in their care.

I have been lucky to work with Restorative in two occasions and I can guarantee the professionals working in the different two placements are excellent. They have a great understanding of safety and safeguarding, and are willing to work in partnership which is key to be able to provide the right support for young people. I have worked with Lisa in the two occasions and I can confirm she is great at sharing relevant information with me, as well as identifying the needs of the young person she works with. An absolute pleasure working with the Restorative team- keep up the great work!
