Kites Children's Services

Kites Children’s Services exists to help boys with sexual development problems. We work hard to help these young people develop into confident, safe young adults who make a positive contribution to wider society. Kites is the first port of call for local authorities that may lack relevant specialist care services – and which need a cost-effective service that achieves positive outcomes for young people. We provide a fully integrated service across the care continuum for young people aged 12-17. An integrated approach to care Our integrated approach is effective because it brings together different strands of care, which are shaped to each individual’s needs. They are: Residential care for young people with sexual development issues Education and personal development in our own specialist school, when mainstream education is not yet appropriate Therapy – this is central to our whole approach and helps the young people in our care achieve goals such as happiness, creativity and intimacy in both meaningful and socially acceptable ways Aftercare – ensuring that young people get the best possible start to their adult lives
