Staff and Managers
Information about our Service
Clinical Services Department
The Psychology Support Service works with Consortium staff in order to support some tenants maintain their placements within the Consortium and seek to minimise the impact of the tenant’s behaviour upon their life experiences. The work of the Service also helps to enable the tenants to access and live a valued life in their own community. Without the support of the team these opportunities that we often take for granted might not be available.
The team offers regular meetings with our staff teams, thus providing access to the professionals that can help our staff deliver services in the most difficult and challenging circumstances. The team provides psychometric assessments, behaviour analysis, functional analysis, staff training on clinical issues pertinent to the individual, risk assessment, direct observations, management plans for behaviour and aggression, and individual therapies.
As well as our tenants and staff the team work in partnership with parents, and partner agencies in health and social services.
