What we can do

Marlowe Child & Family Services provide children and young people with psychological, emotional and behavioural difficulties, histories of placement breakdown, learning disabilities, autistic disorders and a variety of other difficulties a stable and robust placement option in a specialist home focused on meeting their individual needs.

In addition there is education at one of two Registered/Approved day schools and expert therapeutic input from appropriately experienced, qualified and professionally supervised therapy staff.

We are committed to ensuring our services offer both genuine opportunities for children and young people, and best value for Placing Agencies.

The Units - The Lawns

‘The Lawns’ is a 4-bedded home providing the specialised 3-6 month residential element of our ‘Safe Steps’ programme. Its objective is to begin to address the underlying difficulties that have resulted in placement disruption in the past, before a planned move to one of our foster care partner's (Pathway Care) specialist family placements. It is managed by Tonia Hibberd and based in Gloucestershire.

About Us

Case Study A - Sam

Sam was just 10 years old when he came to ‘The Marlowe’. He was angry, aggressive and unmanageable. Now he is 15, living in a foster family, working at his GCSEs and hoping to make the County Rugby team this year. He has a real chance of breaking the cycle of three generations of the care system and prison and instead, live a successful and happy adult life.
