Specialist residential care for children and young people aged 7 to 15 with learning disabilities and complex needs, in a genuinely homely house in Walsall, West Midlands.
HBBA Children’s & Young People’s Services Ltd is a dedicated residential provider operating alongside our CQC-regulated sister company, HBBA Care Ltd. We were established as a focused, specialist entity with our own registered management structure and Ofsted registration pathway, so that children with learning disabilities and complex needs get a service built entirely around them.
Our home provides high-quality care, support and nurturing substitute parenting for children who may have experienced disrupted attachments, multiple placement moves or trauma. We keep our numbers small on purpose. With room for up to three children at a time, every young person is known, understood and given the individual attention they deserve.
Our approach to care is built around five commitments that guide every decision, every routine and every relationship in the home.
We help adults nurture a child even when they are hostile or rejecting, so the child can build trust, self worth and self acceptance.
Change begins with the adult’s mind. We help our staff understand their own expectations and behaviours, and how these affect the children in our care.
Accepting a child exactly as they are is key to building self esteem, and to giving them room to explore and enjoy who they are, even under stress.
Our staff give every child a genuine sense of belonging, both to the home and to the people in it who matter to them, and help them manage complex relationships.
Adults recognise and empathise with each child’s feelings, then reflect, manage and respond to them with care.
Every child at HBBA has their own personalised bedroom, with space to relax, play and simply be themselves. Shared areas, including a dedicated sensory room and a large, privately fenced garden, are designed for comfort, connection and fun.
We take pride in how HBBA looks and feels. Our decoration and furnishings are of a high standard because we believe children in our care deserve nothing less, and because a home should never feel like an institution.
