About Us
At Semi-Independent House, we operate as a dedicated children's residential care and supported accommodation provider committed to helping young people build stable futures. Our mission is built on providing secure, therapeutic environments where looked-after children and care leavers aged 8 to 18 develop essential coping mechanisms, practical life skills, and the confidence needed for successful independence.
Who We Are
Headquartered in Peterborough, our organisation brings together experienced residential child care workers, therapeutic practitioners, and youth support specialists. We partner closely with local authorities, social work teams, and safeguarding agencies to manage short-term, long-term, planned, and emergency placements tailored to each young person's unique background.
What We Do
We deliver an integrated suite of specialist residential care and transition support solutions:
- Children's Residential Care Homes: Providing structured, therapeutic residential placements for young people aged 8 to 16 with emotional and behavioural difficulties.
- Supported & Semi-Independent Living: Operating specialised accommodation for young people aged 16 to 18, bridging the gap between residential care and full adulthood.
- Emergency & Short-Term Placements: Offering responsive, secure environments for young people requiring immediate admission and safety assessment.
- Life Skills & Transition Mentoring: Training residents in daily budgeting, cooking, education management, and independent tenancy maintenance.
Our Approach & Values
- Therapeutic Coping Focus: Implementing supportive frameworks that help young people process past trauma and build positive emotional regulation strategies.
- Person-Centred Development: Fostering environments where children feel safe, valued, and encouraged to achieve their full potential—whether progressing to semi-independent living or returning to family care where appropriate.
- Collaborative Stakeholder Partnership: Working openly with local authorities and care teams to ensure consistent, goal-oriented support pathways.
