ONE SMALL STEP

At Meadows Care we like to offer activities which provide individuality and a visual progression path. This is known as 'Footsteps' which marks the progress in particular areas of all young people within our homes.

The activity  relates to Every Child Matters and includes different coloured foot prints representing the five outcomes, which are displayed on a wall in each home. This is important for motivtation and development as well as giving each child a focus and a feeling that they have acheived. These activities allow young people to fulfil, monitor and evidence particular objectives that are set in a fun and constructive way.

Green         Being Healthy
Red               Staying Safe

"The 'Footsteps' are used as a visual approach that can be seen in each home and is part of Meadows Care's 'Every Child Matters' philosophy and is proving extremely popular."
