Achieving positive outcomes

Positive Horizons empowers people to achieve the best possible outcomes by giving them greater choice and control over how they live their lives. We encourage each individual to reach their potential by delivering specialist person-centred support that enables them to lead a life that is more enriching and fulfilling. We believe that people with learning disabilities and associated health needs have a right to expect better choice, more opportunities and respect from those who support them.


Safeguarding

We are committed to effectively protecting all vulnerable individuals supported by our services from any form of abuse and always aim to ensure ‘best practice’ and partnership working in relation to safeguarding.

We strive to maintain a transparent and open culture where everyone feels safe and able to share concerns. Concerns relating to safeguarding are always listened to and taken seriously. We strive also to enable people who deliver a service to develop their understanding of keeping safe. All staff are trained to a level of competence in understanding safeguarding adults.

Hello my name is Honey and I am first and foremost a much-loved family pet but I’m also a very important part of the of the Positive Horizons family too.

My role is to provide therapeutic enrichment to those who want or need it, I do this by visiting my friends regularly, organised walks, and just generally rolling over for my tummy rub, and bringing a smile to people’s faces.
