We work with you to find the right level of support now and in the future
CareTech are one of the UK’s largest providers of children’s services. Through our network of companies we provide specialist services for children and young adults who have complex needs that include; Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH), autism and a learning disability.
Our Specialist Education Schools and Colleges, Residential Services and Foster Agencies operate across England, Scotland and Wales. We are proud to support over 2,000 children and young adults across our 47 services, who are assisted by 5,500 dedicated staff.

Whether it is in a big or a small way, we aim to make each day an extraordinary day for those we support.
We provide our children and young adults with the guidance and structure to reach their potential. Through our services we are able to provide pathways of care in settings that cater to the majority of children and young adults’ presenting needs.
Our approach is flexible and adaptable to the needs and wants of each young person. We have adopted the Mind Of My Own apps, which help young people communicate their views in a way that suits them, across our services so that we can encourage and respond to the voices of those in our care.
We aspire to our services being rated at least good or outstanding by our regulators and we have a thirst for continued improvement. Where improvements are required we always act quickly and implement any recommendations across the organisation. We work closely with Local Authorities and associated professional bodies to provide a “joined up” approach to the children and young people we work with.

We have homes that range from supporting a single occupancy to group living environments. With the provision of care and, where needed, wrap around therapy and education.
