• Protecting children and young people from risks to their health and welfare.
• Providing support for the children and young people in the home and to promote their independence and well-being.
• Maintaining a safe environment for young people.
• Ensuring the safety of the students and maintaining an up to date knowledge of the individual's; care plan, guidelines, reward system and preferred method of communication.
• Supporting taxing behaviour safely and sympathetically.
• Developing and maintaining good working relationships with the staff, parents, Social Workers and other professionals that may be involved in the young people's lives such as Psychologists.
