Who We Are

Dove Adolescent Services Limited operates a dedicated network of small multi‑occupancy children's homes and single‑occupancy Specialist Resource Units. The group specialises in supporting vulnerable children and young people, usually aged between 8 and 17, who have complex histories, multiple support needs, or present with acute emotional, behavioural, and social difficulties..

What We Do

Therapeutic Residential Childcare provides safe, trauma‑informed housing provisions and home support where young people live and learn with consistent support to recover personal confidence, managing flexible care packages across specialised multi‑occupancy environments.

Specialist Single-Occupancy Resource Units deliver coordinated care that integrates dedicated single‑placement home environments, such as Bole House, tailored specifically to the high‑intensity stabilisation needs of an individual young person at the time of admission.

Blended Therapeutic & Psychotherapy Partnerships Offering bespoke educational guidance, independent lifestyle mapping, and integrated clinical support through a structured partnership with the Northern School of Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy (NSCAP) to embed research and clinical evaluation directly into daily care routines.

Semi-Independence Training & Flatlet Step-Downs Using relationship‑based screening and transitional practice tools as part of strategic frameworks to increase self‑reliance, utilising specialised annexes like the dedicated semi‑independence training flat at Dove House to safely prepare older adolescents for autonomous living.

Approach & Values

Dove Adolescent Services Limited focuses on an individual‑centred, outcome‑focused care approach that respects each young person’s individuality, history, and potential.

Industry Role
