Transforming Care Programme

As a specialist care provider, Godfrey Care passionately supports the Transforming Care Programme (TCP) and the national agenda around “Building the Right Support.”

We work with commissioners from local authorities and ICBs to understand their market position and develop bespoke service models to support the implementation of the national service model for people with a learning disability and/or autism who display behaviour that challenges, including those with an associated mental health condition.

We offer TCP placements for individuals across both our Residential and Supported Living services. As an experienced provider, we recognise that not everybody needs an ordinary home; some people need an extraordinary home — a place that can meet their individual needs.

We consider the multiple challenges and barriers faced by people with a learning disability and/or autism, as well as the inequalities that prevent them from accessing quality community services that understand their needs. These barriers can lead to missed opportunities and inappropriate hospital admissions.

We understand that for individuals with a forensic history, or those who have been detained due to a breakdown in placements or mental ill-health, living in a hospital setting and being discharged without a suitable provider can be extremely challenging.

Learning Disabilities

We are members of the Learning Disability Alliance. The LDA defend the rights of people with learning disabilities and their families.

Challenging Behaviour

Many individuals accessing the services of Godfrey Care have presented behaviour that may be considered challenging. Training delivered through our partnership with NAPPI UK ensures that staff are equipped with a range of strategies to support such situations.

Autism

We appreciate that each person on the Autism Spectrum has different needs and the training delivered through our partnership with NAPPI UK ensures staff are aware of the difficulties faced by individuals on the Autism Spectrum and more importantly how to effectively support these individuals in a positive and person centred way.

Epilepsy

Godfrey Care have ensured that staff are trained to effectively support individuals who live with Epilepsy. Training delivered by NAPPI UK ensures that staff are given the underpinning knowledge required to recognise different seizure types, identify triggers to seizures and to know how to support a person before, during and after a seizure.
