Overview of service
Support is offered to 10 people with Autism Spectrum Disorders and learning disabilities with some challenging behaviours and has received accreditation from the National Autistic Society.
The support is delivered by a dedicated and professional multi-disciplinary team committed to providing quality focused on the needs of individuals. The aim is to train our staff to a minimum of NVQ 2 Health and social care in order to promote the quality of support provided. Collinson Court promotes Craegmoor’s’ communication strategy called “Your Voice” which ensures that each individual, based on their preferred method of communication, is able to have a voice on how their supported is provided. Regular meetings are held wherever possible to enable those who use our service to represent their views and listen to fellow people. This is extended to a voice at area, divisional and national level.
Collinson Court liases with families, community organisations, social services departments and purchasing authorities to support Person Centred Care Planning and ensures full account is taken of social, emotional, cultural and spiritual needs of all individuals.
