Centre helps traumatised children engage with learning

Home provides specialist support for severely neglected and traumatised children aged six to 12.

ACTION

Appletree Treatment Centre provides specialist therapeutic care, therapy and education for some of the UK's most severely neglected and traumatised children.

The centre, based in Kendal, Cumbria, has been supporting young people to return to their families or foster care, and mainstream education, for more than 20 years.

With three residential homes for boys and girls aged from six to 12, the centre offers full time care and education for up to 25 children.

Principal Clair Davies says the centre will help a child to return to their family if that is the care plan, but the majority of children will be supported to go into foster care.
