Rumman Care

Rumman Care provide a tailored residential care environment that enables children and young people with complex needs to develop to their full potential within a caring environment. We will guide them towards independence and give them full support in all aspects of their daily lives. At Rumman Care, we know that most of the children and young people we look after will have experienced abuse and trauma, and that due to their adverse childhood experiences they will come with emotionally disturbed behaviour and may have a distinct lack of trust in adults. We know they are likely to display extremely challenging behaviours and will unconsciously seek to bring the chaos and disruption they have experienced in their lives up to now into their new environment. Rumman Care however are committed to working with these children and young people; to containing and working through their powerful and difficult emotions with them, helping them to understand where they are coming from and guiding them towards a better future. At Rumman Care we firmly believe and promote the idea that childhood adversity does not have to define who you are and that by building resilience in children and young people we can help them to overcome adversity and lead happy, successful, and fulfilling lives. We at Rumman Care have high aspirations for our young people, however we recognise that progress is relative and contextual, which means that for some of them just the smallest of things like getting a good night’s sleep or attending education can represent progress. As such, when a child or young person moves in, a thorough benchmarking assessment takes place with the input of the child, the child’s Social Worker and where appropriate their family. Progress can then be measured and achievements celebrated with the children and young people to help build their self-confidence, self-esteem and self-belief, thus supporting them to change, improve and succeed in life.
