A Place to Grow, Belong, and Thrive
At ChildVision, our residential services are about more than accommodation, they are about creating a space where young people with visual impairment feel free, safe, and deeply supported. Our homes are nurturing, open environments built on trust, respect, and individuality. Every young person who stays with us becomes part of a vibrant, inclusive community that supports their emotional, social, and developmental needs.
Ages 0–18: Foundations of Freedom and Belonging
For children and teenagers, our residential homes provide consistency, care, and connection. These are safe and welcoming spaces where students are encouraged to express themselves, explore their independence, and build lasting friendships. We prioritise their rights as individuals, ensuring every child feels heard and understood.
Parental involvement is central to our approach. We believe that working together with families leads to the best outcomes for every child. Communication is open and frequent, so families always feel close and connected to their child’s experience.
Everyday life in the houses supports the development of soft skills like communication, empathy, and resilience. Whether it’s sharing a meal, relaxing after school, or learning to navigate social situations, each moment offers an opportunity for personal growth. Our staff are there to support, never to control, fostering a sense of freedom that helps children flourish at their own pace.
Ages 18–23: Independence with Support
As young people enter adulthood, our residential services adapt to meet their evolving needs. This stage is about stepping into greater independence while still feeling the safety and reassurance of a caring environment.
Residents are supported to build the life they want: choosing how they spend their time, taking ownership of their routines, and developing the confidence to engage with the world around them. There’s a strong focus on community and belonging, with plenty of space for relaxation, social connection, and fun.
We emphasise the development of life skills and self-advocacy, with staff acting as guides rather than guardians. Respect for individual rights is paramount, and each young adult is treated as a capable, valued member of the home.
Our Commitment to Care
ChildVision is a HIQA-registered provider, and safeguarding is at the heart of everything we do. We take our responsibility to protect and support our residents seriously, maintaining high standards of care and accountability at all times.
More than anything, residential life at ChildVision is about what we can offer them: the chance to be part of something, to feel seen and valued, and to live each day with possibility and purpose.
