Lighthouse ensures that children in care have the same opportunities as everyone else by creating life changing education-focused children’s homes.
We believe that children growing up in residential care should go on to achieve great things and lead fulfilling lives. They have the right to support that helps them discover their potential.
Education with high aspirations, responsive to children’s individual needs, should be a priority for every child in residential care.
We need to work together to transform the lives of children in care and close the care gap for good.
At Lighthouse, we believe that it is time to change how we recruit, train and retain staff in children’s homes. Our approach will encourage stability and professionalism in staff and enable staff to build what all children in care need – secure, trusting relationships.
We have faced many challenges this year due to Covid-19, but we believe that sharing setbacks, learning from them and modelling resilience is critical to our values and aligns with the Human Learning Systems approach we have embraced.
At Lighthouse, we recognise that there are some key issues in the residential care sector. We are setting up our first children’s home to overcome these hurdles, and give children in our care the best shot possible. We believe there is a different way to run children’s homes, which will lead to better outcomes.
