Supervision

YCT are able to provide bespoke supervision for professionals working with children, young people and families.

Our supervision service helps staff members process their experiences at work and offers a confidential space to talk about the stresses and strains being faced. Managing these difficulties day to day can be very challenging. YCT can provide a safe space for staff to monitor their own emotional wellbeing alongside support with safeguarding cases.

Safe hands

The safety and wellbeing of every child, young person and family who uses our services is at the heart of everything we do. Our charity operates within a clear and robust safeguarding strategy that ensures all children, young people and vulnerable adults are protected from harm and supported in a safe, respectful and therapeutic environment. Our therapists are fully qualified professionals, and we’re proud members of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) which means we follow strict quality and ethical guidelines. Through safe recruitment processes, enhanced DBS checks, ongoing safeguarding training, clear reporting pathways, strong clinical supervision and strategic leadership we create a protective framework where children and families can engage with our services with confidence, knowing they are in safe hands.
