Listening and respect
We listen to young people, respect their identity and important relationships, and involve them in decisions about their care.
About Wrottesley Care Ltd
Homes with purpose.
Care built around children.
Wrottesley Care Ltd is a family business providing residential care for children and young people in Wolverhampton. Wrottesley Road opened in 2018. Today, our two homes offer distinct settings, with careful assessment to make sure we can meet each young person’s needs.
Our family roots shape the way we work: getting to know people, being dependable and building a sense of belonging. We aim to grow sustainably while maintaining the quality of care in our homes.
We support young people with emotional and behavioural difficulties, taking account of their experiences, strengths and wishes. Education, health, relationships and preparation for adult life are part of each individual care plan.
Our values and aims
What matters to us.
What we work towards.
Our values guide how we care for young people and work with one another. Our aims focus on progress that matters to each young person, shaped by their needs, wishes and individual care plan.
Our values
Dependable relationships
We offer warmth, consistency and clear boundaries, making time for everyday conversations and staying alongside young people through difficult moments.
Learning together
We welcome ideas and feedback, reflect on our practice and take responsibility for improving the care we provide.
Our aims for young people
Feeling safer
Greater stability, trusting relationships and support to recognise and manage difficult emotions.
Engaging with learning
Support to engage with education and discover interests, strengths and a sense of achievement.
Growing in confidence
Opportunities to be heard, enjoy activities and build positive connections with others.
Developing independence
Practical skills for daily life and carefully planned transitions, at a pace that fits the young person.
Progress looks different for everyone. We review each young person’s goals and care plan with them, alongside observations from the adults and professionals supporting them. Changes in wellbeing, relationships, education and everyday skills help us understand what is working and where support needs to change.
Our provision
Two homes, with distinct roles.
Himley House
Goldthorn · A home for one young person
A home for one young person with more complex emotional and behavioural needs. The solo setting allows highly individualised support, predictable routines and a focus on building safe, trusting relationships.
Wrottesley Road
Tettenhall · Up to three children
A spacious home for three young people to share, providing care for young people with emotional and behavioural difficulties. Individual care sits alongside opportunities to develop positive relationships, enjoy shared experiences and practise everyday skills.
Working together
A shared understanding
of what each child needs.
We work with placing authorities, social workers, education and health professionals, and families where appropriate. Sharing information and listening to the young person help us review care and respond as needs change.
Each referral is assessed against the young person’s needs and risks, the support available and the home’s ability to offer a suitable placement.
Relationships at the heart of care
An approach grounded in PACE.
Playfulness, acceptance, curiosity and empathy guide our everyday relationships. We respond with warmth, seek to understand what a young person is experiencing and maintain clear, safe boundaries.
