School and learning
We'll help you get to school, learn and plan for your future.
FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
Welcome to May Meadows
Moving somewhere new can feel strange. We'll take time to get to know you, explain what will happen and help you settle in at your own pace.
A Place To Belong
You can be yourself here
We want to get to know the real you: what makes you laugh, what you enjoy, what you find difficult and what is important to you. You do not have to pretend to be anyone else.
You deserve to feel welcome, cared for and included in the place you call home.
Your bedroom
You will have your own bedroom. You can bring the things that matter to you and help choose how your room looks, so it feels like your space. Adults will respect your privacy while making sure you are safe.
Day By Day
Everyday life
Life here includes ordinary days, fun days, busy days and quiet days. We will plan them with you.
Things you enjoy
There will be time for hobbies, activities, trips and trying new things.
Family and friends
We'll support safe contact with the people who are important to you.
Feeling well
We'll help you look after your physical health and how you feel inside.
Meals and routines
You can help choose meals and know what is happening each day.
Celebrations
Birthdays, achievements and things that matter to you are worth celebrating.
Time to yourself
You can have quiet time, relax and enjoy your own interests.
Your choices matter
You will have a say in your care, your room, food, activities and plans for the future. Adults may not always be able to say yes, but they will listen, explain decisions clearly and help you be part of what happens next.
People Who Can Help
Who can I talk to?
You do not have to manage a worry on your own. You can choose who feels right to talk to.
Key worker
Your key worker will spend time getting to know you and can help with questions, plans or worries.
Registered Manager
You can ask to speak to the Registered Manager if there is something you want them to know.
Residential team
You can talk to any adult in the home and choose someone you feel comfortable with.
Social worker / advocate
You can ask to speak privately to your social worker or an independent advocate who can help you have your say.
Your Voice
If something doesn't feel right
It is always okay to say how you feel, ask for help or tell someone that you are worried. You will not be in trouble for speaking up.
Talk to someone
Choose an adult you trust and tell them what is worrying you.
Make a complaint
If you're unhappy about something, you have the right to complain and be taken seriously.
Tell us something privately
If something feels unsafe or wrong, you can share it without giving your name.
