Our Mission
Our mission is to keep children in the child protection system safe from harm.
​
At New Beginnings we believe that by building meaningful relationships based on trust, respect and honesty, we can support parents to break the cycle of integenerational trauma.
​
We are an independent charity that works in partnership with children's services. We therefore have the independence and flexibility to tailor innovative therapeutic services to meet the needs of our families, whilst maintaining our strong commitment to tackling the issues that families in the child protection system face.
​
We recognise relationships between families and professionals can often become polarised due to context of the child protection system. We therefore work to improve channels of communication between parent and social worker through representation work.
Our Promises
​
-
We will always go the extra mile for our families. We never say 'good bye'; we will be there whenever we are needed.
-
We will always be passionate about providing the best possible outcomes for parents and their children. For children to feel safe at home, we need to remember that our parents were once children themselves.
-
We will embrace diversity and champion inclusion. We are committed to valuing difference and diversity in our workforce and the families we work with. We believe that identity should be celebrated and promoted so that individual needs can be met.
-
We will nurture and strengthen, caring relationships with families and professionals. We recognise that authentic participatory practice can only occur in spaces that are safe, supportive and open to challenge.
-
We will value and invest in our staff so that they can be the transitional attachment figure families need to effect change. We give our team the same love, care and compassion as we do our families.
