Working in Partnership
At Mayden we will work with parents, members of the multidiscplinaary team and other relevant authorities in conducting the assessment of needs and requirements, bespoke to your child/ person as it is essential in promoting positive outcomes for them, this will be achieved by listening carefully to the child, likes and dislikes, hopes and inspirations. We understand that the parents are ultimately responsible for their children, and we will treat all parents with respect. We are committed to exploring innovative ways of reaching to the families who most need our support. Mayden has invested in its partnership ethos, identifying the mutual value to be derived from effective partnership working taking a multi-agency approach.
We aim to work with local councils, children centres, schools and an increasing number of GP's, to offer support to parents who are often suffering from problems such as stress and depression, as well as from parenting issues.
Our success is based upon building a close partnership with parents, carers and siblings and helping them find solutions to the obstacles they meet in daily life.
As an organization we have six values that inform everything we do
- We put the child first,
- We value their choices and preferences
- We take responsibility
- We value, respect and take care of ourselves and each other
- We work best in partnership
- We practice Inclusion and Learning
Our Process
Once a referral is received from you, we will match the Young Person's needs to a relevant Link-worker to achieve your expected best outcomes. The Link-worker will be the first point of contact the Young Person needs for the support required. The Initial assessment, Local Authority recommendations and the progress are observed throughout their journey and care pathway. This will determine qualitative as well as quantitative levels of support required.
Activities of daily living are catered for as a standard and initially this will be monitored. The number of visits and time will then be determined on an individual basis, based on age, abilities and expected outcomes, (variations may occur as and when needs arise, e.g. Accompaniment to appointments).
