Moorland Assessment Services UK Limited

Supervision by a senior social worker takes place and the Manager is informed at the earliest time.

A policy to counter bullying is in place, and this is vigorously enforced. All young people are fully aware of how complaints can be effected .and clarification is given by the key worker at the time.

The policy for unauthorized absences is detailed in our procedures. In brief, dependent on the time of day, following a thorough search, and in any event within half an hour, the young person will be reported missing to the police, and EDT (at night) or social services in office hours will be informed. When possible, parents or other parties known will also be informed.

At the time of admission, we ensure that we are made aware of any religious instruction or observance that may be required, and we put in place any necessary arrangements to facilitate these. The Key Worker would usually take on this responsibility. Any issues arising would as a matter of urgency be discussed in supervision, or with the Head of Care or Manager.

 

Moorland Assessment Services offers a full service in relation to contact with parents, family and friends. Through regular reviews, planning meetings and care plans, we will whenever possible work in close partnership with parents and other contacts. We facilitate contacts with our own members of staff and vehicles, in consultation with Local authorities, and families. We will whenever possible encourage the fullest program of contact.

The arrangements for dealing with reviews of placement plans are clear and monitored closely by the Manager. These will normally be varied at the Statutory Review , or planning meeting, in consultation with the Local Authority. The regularity of such meetings is also closely monitored by the management team. The Assessment Team will provide on going weekly interim assessment reports to social workers, and a full Assessment Meeting will take place at the agreed conclusion of the Assessment, again with all interested parties.

The team can work in a therapeutic way with young people, which is closely supervised by our consultant Psychologist, Mary Duroshola. The National Care Standards have full details of Ms.Duroshola including qualifications, for their inspection. Mary Duroshola will see and supervise any young person on a regular basis with regard to any specific area requiring support. Again the techniques that may be adopted would be discussed at review.

Our policy with regard to Equality of Care for young people will ensure that every young person shall receive equality of care, irrespective of their sex. ethic, cultural. linguistic or religious background. When applicable, provision will be made to ensure personal care needs, religious observances, dietary considerations, festivals etc. are fully recognized, facilitated and catered for. These would be addressed in their Individual Personal Plan. Prejudice in any form will not be tolerated.
