Conference Poster: Harmeny

This poster is laid out like a newsletter, and its text reads:

How we’re keeping the promise for care leavers

Harmeny aims to reduce the number of moves for care experienced young people, and ensure that necessary transitions are planned and supported.

We believe that our young people will always be part of Harmeny.

Our remarkable young people used to have to leave Harmeny at 14, to continue their care and education elsewhere.

Our Acorn Project now allows young people to live and learn at Harmeny until they are 18, with continued support beyond 18.

Here4U Project

Here4U is our transitions and keeping in touch service.

We aim to ensure that transitions are limited, relational, planned and informed.

As well as encouraging ongoing connection to Harmeny, we offer our former pupils support and guidance, and can signpost young people to services in their area that can best meet their needs.

By getting to know former pupils, we are able to gain a greater understanding of the impact that our interventions have had, and inform future delivery of services.

Learning Hub

Our purpose-built Learning Hub provides vital education and therapy spaces for our older young people.

We have a new and bespoke contemporary secondary curriculum, centred around enterprise and employability.

Caroline Cottage

Our new cottage for older young people was designed by teenagers, for teenagers.

Our young people can now maintain their trusting relationships and have the continued stability they need to further progress their care and education.
