Request for a Placement for a 16 Year Old Male

Tender description

<p>MALE AGE 16 Years old PLACEMENT &ndash; RESIDENTIAL (under children&rsquo;s home regulation) T is a 16-year-old male who loves to be outdoors, participating in sport. He has recently joined a local football team and has enjoyed returning to training and playing matches. T enjoys participating in activities of most kinds including trampolining and go karting. He is residing in Newcastle under Lyne, and we would like a home for him in this area. T can build positive relationships with staff and other young people; he has been settled in his current placement for a number of months and he attends School three days per week. T is planning to complete his GCSEs this year. Previously T has been unable to settle in his placements due to series of ongoing difficulties, allegations and disputes with another child. T requires support in forming friendships and how keep these friendships remaining positive as these can break down due to T feeling that he has to &lsquo;impress&rsquo; his peers. T is a child who enjoys routine and structure, he enjoys education and aspires to be an accountant or a chef when he is older. T is very intelligent and enjoy learning about information including cars, motor bikes and history. T is keen to attend a mainstream college after his GCSEs. T enjoys spending time with his family at weekends going away on family holidays and short breaks. T has experienced frequent missing episodes and high risk of criminal exploitation in previous placements. Although this is not a current issue, he is always vulnerable to being drawn back into this.</p> <p>If you are interested in this opportunity please email <strong>placementsearches@wigan.gov.uk.</strong></p> Keywords: Children, Placement, Wigan Council
