About Inguz Care

Our Vision

Our vision is for Inguz Care to be recognised as a trusted, child-centred home where young people can heal, grow, and thrive.

We aspire to create an environment where stability, safety, and belonging are the cornerstones of care — ensuring that children who may have experienced trauma or instability find the security and consistency they deserve.

We bridge the gap between residential care, therapeutic provision, and secure settings by weaving assessment and intervention into everyday life. This holistic and relational model ensures that children are not defined by their difficulties, but supported to build confidence, relationships, and life skills for a positive future.

Growth at Inguz Care is never driven by numbers — it is organic and values-led, grounded in dignity, compassion, and excellence.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple:

To offer the kind of everyday life every child deserves — one that is warm, predictable, and filled with care.

A place where adults listen, notice the small things, and celebrate every step forward.

Through consistency, curiosity, and compassion, we help children rediscover safety, connection, and hope.

Our Ethos

At Inguz Care, we believe every child and young person has the potential to thrive, no matter the adversity they’ve faced.

Our ethos is built on relationship-based, trauma-informed practice — we understand that healing happens through safe, nurturing relationships and steady routines.

We cannot replicate a family home, but we strive to feel like one — offering stability, care, and respect that help children build positive memories and a sense of belonging.

We meet the whole child — emotionally, psychologically, physically, educationally, socially, and spiritually — and celebrate diversity, identity, and individuality.

Our approach is grounded in PACE (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, Empathy) and supported by DBT and CBT-informed practice, helping children to manage emotions, develop coping skills, and grow in confidence.

Why “Inguz”?

The name Inguz is inspired by an ancient symbol representing new beginnings and growth.

It reflects our belief that with the right relationships, structure, and support, every child can move forward and shape their own future.

How We Care

Our Values

Our values shape everything we do — from how we recruit and train staff to how children and families experience our homes.

• Dignity & Respect: Every child is valued as an individual with their own culture, identity, and voice.
• Compassion & Kindness: We care with empathy, patience, and genuine warmth.
• Safety & Stability: We build predictable routines and maintain strong safeguarding throughout.
• Empowerment & Equality: We help children find their voice, build independence, and access opportunity.
• Openness & Integrity: We communicate honestly and are accountable for our practice.
• Partnership & Collaboration: We work closely with families, professionals, and the wider community.
• Growth & Development: We invest in the learning of both children and staff — growing stronger together.

Our Team

Children meet a consistent team of carefully selected, well-trained staff. Every team member receives regular supervision, reflection, and professional development in safeguarding, attachment, and therapeutic approaches.

We listen, reflect, and learn together so our care remains steady, safe, and centred on the child.

We also prioritise the wellbeing of our staff. By creating a supportive, reflective environment, we help our team stay emotionally regulated, open, and engaged — ensuring they can offer children the calm, thoughtful care they deserve.

Safeguarding & Quality

Children’s safety is our highest priority.

We follow robust safeguarding procedures, maintain strong risk management systems, and welcome external oversight.

Feedback from children, families, and professionals shapes our co-production approach — ensuring that quality and accountability are embedded in everything we do.

Working Together

Good care is always a shared effort.

We communicate openly with families, local authorities, schools, and health professionals — keeping everyone focused on what matters most to the child.

You can expect clear updates, honest dialogue, and thoughtful planning for each stage of a child’s journey.
