Commissioners & Referrals
Everward welcomes early engagement with local authority commissioners, placement teams and social workers regarding our proposed EBD residential children's home in the West Midlands.
Everward Care Group is currently developing its residential children's care provision and preparing for Ofsted registration. The service is not yet operational or accepting referrals.
Working collaboratively with placing authorities.
We are committed to building open, transparent and collaborative working relationships with local authority commissioners and placement teams from the outset. We welcome early conversations about local placement needs, service development and future commissioning opportunities across the West Midlands.
Our Proposed Service
Everward is developing a small EBD residential children's home for children and young people aged 8–17 with emotional and behavioural difficulties and associated complex needs. Our proposed care approach is trauma-informed and underpinned by PACE principles — Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity and Empathy.
Placement Matching
We will consider each referral carefully and individually. Placement matching decisions will be made with the needs, safety and wellbeing of all children in the home as the primary consideration. We will work closely with placing authorities throughout the referral and placement process.
Individualised Care Planning
Every child will have an individualised care plan developed in collaboration with the placing authority, the child and relevant professionals. Plans will reflect each child's history, needs, strengths, wishes and feelings, and will be reviewed regularly.
Safeguarding and Risk Management
Safeguarding is central to everything we do. Our policies and procedures will be developed in line with current legislation and statutory guidance. Risk assessment and risk management will be proportionate, child-centred and regularly reviewed in collaboration with placing authorities.
Multi-Agency Working
We will work openly and proactively with placing authorities, health services, education providers, CAMHS and other relevant professionals, attending all relevant professional meetings and contributing actively to care planning and review.
Ofsted Registration
Everward Care Group is currently preparing for Ofsted registration as a children's home provider. We will share our Statement of Purpose and other relevant documentation with placing authorities as part of the commissioning and referral process.
