Our Aims and Ethos...

"To promote core values of Independence, Inclusion, Choice, Dignity and Privacy. The acknowledgement and importance of these basic human rights provide the backbone and ethos behind New Leaf’s conception. These rights are to be respected at all times and through all parts of the company structure."

"We understand that people need to grow as individuals and by offering an organic approach to our care packages, as needs change over time; our business model can adapt and evolve to offer a high-level continuation of care."

"To create a positive support network around an individual. This has always been a key discussion and an important goal of New Leaf. We are aware how difficult it can be for some individuals to ‘find’ their voice. Without the ability to communicate your needs effectively, life can become very insular and lonely."

"Where ever possible, New Leaf strives to offer open forum and discussion around not only care needs, but around the wishes and dreams people may have about planning their futures with us. To help try and turn these dreams into realities, a strong support network is always promoted. If friends and families are unable to offer support, advocacy services may be available as well as outside professional support."

"To maintain and support a strong and well-trained staff team. At New Leaf, we are aware of the importance of a strong, stable and well-trained staff team and how achieving this level of support can have a hugely positive impact on an individual’s life. New Leaf offers full and comprehensive training packages, and staff members are well supported and invited into an open forum of discussion."

"To build relationships... Building strong and positive relationships is extremely important to us at New Leaf. The ability to share the ups and downs of life is an integral part of feeling connected, and that your voice matters. The ability to discuss and forge relationships also helps individuals seek new and exciting opportunities outside of the New Leaf setting, further strengthening and helping to build confidence."

"Flexibility... We, at New Leaf understand things don’t always go the way we plan. Life can be complicated and even with the best intentions, sometimes things don’t always go the way we think they will! With this in mind, we always strive to and pride ourselves on our flexible approach to care. We have a long history and experience in planning and support and always put the individual at the centre of this. We always strive to get the best possible outcomes for the individual and understand that being adaptable and being able to offer continuing, flexible support is the best way to achieve this."
