Our unique ‘ITAC’ approach

Across all of our schools and children’s homes, the model that we implement is our ‘Internal Team Around the Child (ITAC)’ approach.

This approach ensures that young people have access to cohesive services and all the relevant practitioners concerned with an individual young person meet regularly. This ensures the services delivered are integrated, prioritised, coherent and achieve their intended outcomes.
