We also provide specialised care for young people with challenging behaviour and/or emotional needs in semi-independent and 24-hour supervised housing settings. Our services are provided in accordance with the Children (Leaving Care) Act 2000 and the children acts 1989 and 2004 (and additionally, any relevant government and/or statutory regulations and guidance).


We pay particular attention to the voice of the young person understanding their needs to ensure that they have the best accommodation and support to ensure that young people achieve their goals and aspirations and have better outcomes in life.


Our service is underpinned by the UN convention on the Rights of the Child, and we also work towards helping young people to ‘Achieve More’ and strongly agree with the Department of Health (2003) policy that indeed ‘Every Child Matters’ and deserve the right to have the appropriate support to be able to:

  • Be healthy
  • Stay Safe
  • To enjoy and achieve
  • To make a positive contribution
  • To achieve economic wellbeing


At Hamlet Abbey we do not only focus on the physical health needs of our clients, but we also believe in providing quality holistic patient centred care. We strongly agree with the World Health Organization (1948) perspective of the broader definition of ‘health’ as a “state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” Therefore, we give person centred care that takes into account the needs of every individual ensuring that they receive the best quality care, enjoying optimum health, enjoying and achieving, leading meaningful lives as much as is permissible despite their disabilities or changing needs.
