Reign Therapeutic Provision Ltd · Hampshire
Nurture · Inspire · Thrive
A specialist therapeutic hub built on a simple idea: that when children feel safe, connected, and truly understood, everything else becomes possible. We don't chase compliance. We build trust.
🌟 Vision & Mission
Our vision is a world where every child — regardless of their history, their diagnosis, or what has happened to them — is seen as worthy of safety, belonging, and the chance to flourish. A world where therapeutic support is not a last resort, but a first response for children who need it most.
Our mission is to offer exceptional therapeutic support to children and young people with complex needs, creating spaces where regulation comes before demand, relationship comes before programme, and every child is known — truly known — by the therapists and therapy assistants around them.
We view every child through their strengths, not shortcomings — and differences, not deficits.
We exist for the children who have not been well-served elsewhere. The ones for whom other environments have felt too loud, too fast, too frightening, or simply too much. Reign was built for them — not as a compromise, but as a genuine home.
A world where every child with complex needs has access to therapeutic support that meets them where they are — not where the system expects them to be.
To offer trauma-informed, neuro-affirmative therapy in a hub where regulation, relationship, and genuine belonging are the foundation of all growth.
Every child who joins Reign will be known — their name, their story, their strengths, their struggles. They will not be a case number. They will not be managed. They will be known.
Honesty in everything we do. Warmth without limit. Courage to challenge what isn't working. Humility to keep learning. And an unshakeable belief in every child's capacity to grow.
🌳 Our values
Supporting children to develop emotional strength, coping skills and confidence.
Helping children recognise their strengths, make choices and develop independence.
Creating a safe environment where every child is accepted, valued and understood.
Supporting emotional, social, therapeutic and life-skills development.
Providing compassionate, trauma-informed support where children can feel safe and connected.
🏠 Who We Are
Reign Therapeutic Provision Ltd is a specialist therapeutic hub for children and young people with complex needs across Hampshire. We were founded by practitioners — people who work directly with children — on the belief that no child is beyond reach, and that the right environment, with the right people, can change everything.
We are based at Unit 5, Zodiac House, Aldermaston, which is home to both our organisation and our therapeutic hub. Our work brings together therapeutic practice, specialist therapy, and compassionate care under one roof — not as separate strands, but as a single, integrated way of being with children.
Our team is made up of Speech and Language Therapists, Play Therapists, Occupational Therapists, therapy assistants, Thrive practitioners, and OPAL practitioners — all working together around each child's individual profile and therapeutic priorities.
"Connection before correction. Regulation before everything else. The child before the checklist." — The Reign Therapeutic Ethos
📸 Life at Reign
Every child at Reign is known, celebrated, and given the space to grow at their own pace — in their own way.
🏡 Inside Reign
Every room at Reign has a name, a purpose and a feeling. From the moment young people arrive, they know where they can go to rest, to create, to move, or to share a meal. Each space has been shaped around regulation, safety and connection, so that therapy can happen naturally, wherever a young person feels most at ease.
The heart of Reign, and where every day begins. A bright, open room where young people are welcomed, settle on the sofa and ease in through hands-on play. By the window, The Campfire table is where we come together to share food, conversation and connection. Every named room opens from here, so young people always know where they are and where they can go next.
A place to pause, breathe and feel held. Tucked beneath a leafy canopy and a blossom tree, with soft cushions, mats and books within reach, the Quiet Canopy is a place to slow down, share a story, or simply be still until the body feels calm and safe again.
A calm, private room for one-to-one therapy. The Haven holds soft seating, play resources and selective games, each chosen with purpose. Our therapists use specific games to work towards each young person’s individual therapy targets, from turn-taking and communication to emotional expression and building trust, so that play becomes a pathway to connection and growth.
A dimly lit sensory room where the nervous system can settle. With soft mats, a glowing foliage wall and a colour-changing bubble tube, light, sound and touch can be gently adjusted to meet each young person exactly where they are, helping them move from overwhelm towards calm.
Space to move, climb, tumble and release energy safely, from the soft play area to the climbing frame, slides and ball pit. Movement is a powerful part of regulation, and the Meadows is where occupational therapy comes to life, supporting balance, coordination, body awareness and sensory needs through play.
A quiet, warmly lit room for functional and therapeutic learning, taken at each young person’s own pace. Here we focus on developing communication, which is essential for participation, alongside meaningful activities that build everyday skills. Work is proudly displayed on the walls, so every step forward can be seen, shared and celebrated.
Our art room, where creativity becomes a language of its own. With paints, pens, clay and an easel close at hand, young people can express what words sometimes can’t. Step inside and you will usually find creative chaos in progress: getting messy is always welcome, and the process matters far more than the finished piece.
Our kitchen, where young people make drinks and snacks, lay the table and practise the everyday skills that build confidence and independence. A gentle reminder, written on our wall: we all grow at different rates.
A warm, welcoming room for parents, carers and professionals. Whether it is a first visit, a review meeting or a chat over a cup of tea, The Nest is where families are listened to and partnerships are built.
🌿 Our Provision
Reign Therapeutic Hub is our specialist therapeutic setting — a calm, purposefully designed environment for children and young people with complex and overlapping needs. We are not a holding space or an interim solution. We are a genuine, high-quality therapeutic hub designed to offer meaningful therapy, consistent relationships, and the conditions for real growth.
Therapy at Reign is not an add-on — it is the whole approach. Every interaction, every session, every transition is held within a therapeutic frame. Our therapists and therapy assistants do not hand a child over to therapy — they are the therapy.
Roots, Branches, and Bloomers — three personalised pathways matched to each child’s developmental stage, communication profile, and therapeutic priorities. No two programmes are the same.
We hold communication at the absolute centre of our provision. Every space uses visual supports, every adult uses Makaton, Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) systems are available throughout, and every child's communication profile is individually assessed and responded to.
Our environments are designed with sensory needs at the centre. Every child has an individual sensory profile. Our dedicated regulation room, sensory pathways, and movement-integrated sessions ensure that sensory overwhelm is addressed — not ignored or punished.
Equine therapy sessions are part of our provision — particularly powerful for young people with complex trauma, attachment difficulties, and significant Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. Horses provide a regulating, non-judgmental, and deeply relational therapeutic experience unlike any other.
Families are not informed after the fact at Reign — they are partners in everything. From the transition plan to every regular review, parents and carers have a named point of contact, a voice in all decisions, and access to therapeutic parenting support throughout their child's placement.
Our provision is set within a purposefully designed therapeutic environment at Zodiac House, Aldermaston. Every space — from the sensory room to the creative arts studio — has been chosen and configured to support regulation, safety, and genuine engagement.

🌱 Therapeutic Pathways
Every young person at Reign is placed on one of three personalised therapeutic pathways — Roots, Branches, or Bloomers — based on a holistic assessment of their developmental stage, communication needs, sensory profile, and therapeutic priorities. Pathways are not fixed: young people move between them as they grow, and the programme within each pathway is always individually tailored to the child in front of us. No two children at Reign have the same programme.
The Roots pathway is for children whose developmental stage is based around Early Years practice — including children with autism (including Pathological Demand Avoidance profiles), attachment difficulties, and complex developmental trauma. Many Roots children are pre-verbal or early communicators, and the primary focus is on building safety, sensory regulation, connection, and foundational communication. The Roots space is sensory-rich, highly visual, and deeply relational — structured entirely around co-regulation with trusted adults before anything else is asked of a child. Progress here looks different: it looks like relationship.
Branches is our largest and most diverse pathway, supporting young people across a wide developmental range. Children in Branches are building communication, social confidence, emotional literacy, and practical everyday skills. The programme is hands-on, thematic, and deeply connected to real life. SEMH support is central — many Branches children are non speaking but experiencing significant social-emotional challenges, and every part of the day is held within one integrated therapeutic approach.
Bloomers supports our older young people in preparing for the next stage of life. The Bloomers programme is organised around the five Preparation for Adulthood outcomes: Employment, Independent Living, Community Inclusion, Health, and Friends & Relationships. Young people build practical life skills, community confidence, and self-knowledge — everything they need for a meaningful and connected adult life, at their own pace.
Building safety, sensory regulation, connection, and foundational communication — including for children with autism, PDA profiles, attachment difficulties, and complex developmental trauma. The Roots space is structured entirely around co-regulation and relationship before anything else.
Building communication, emotional literacy, and practical everyday skills through a hands-on, thematic, therapeutically integrated programme.
Building the practical skills, confidence, and self-knowledge needed for a meaningful adult life — organised around the five Preparation for Adulthood outcomes.
No child is locked into a pathway. Placement on a pathway is a starting point based on holistic assessment, not a label or a ceiling. Young people move between pathways as their needs, development, and confidence change. Within each pathway, the programme is always individually tailored — two children on Branches will have very different sessions, goals, and support arrangements. The pathway is the frame; the child fills it.

💚 Our Framework
Our therapeutic framework is not a collection of techniques layered onto a standard provision. It is the lens through which every adult at Reign understands behaviour, relationships, growth, and care. These are not programmes — they are how we think, and how we show up for children, every single day.
We understand all behaviour through the lens of the autonomic nervous system. When a child is dysregulated, they are not being defiant — their nervous system is in a protective state. Our entire hub is designed to support co-regulation before demand, compliance, or consequence. Regulation first. Always.
Stephen Porges · Nervous System FrameworkPlayfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, and Empathy. Developed by Dan Hughes for children with complex trauma and attachment difficulties, PACE shapes every relational interaction at Reign — especially in the most challenging moments when connection matters most.
Dan Hughes · Dyadic Developmental PracticeA structured framework for developing emotional literacy and self-regulation. We use My Regulation Zones throughout the hub to give children a shared, visual, non-shaming language for their internal states — building self-awareness and the vocabulary to seek support.
Leah Kuypers · Emotional LiteracyDeveloped by Andrew McDonnell, the Low Arousal Approach guides how we respond to distress, conflict, and escalating behaviour. We do not use restrictive or punitive responses. We de-escalate, create space, and remain regulated ourselves — modelling the co-regulation our children need most.
Andrew McDonnell · Studio 3Underpinning everything is a whole-organisation understanding of developmental trauma — how ACEs, early adversity, and disrupted attachment shape a child's brain, behaviour, and relational world. This is not a programme. It is a way of being with children, all day, every day.
Bessel van der Kolk · ACEs ResearchWe reject the deficit model of neurodevelopmental difference. Autism, ADHD, sensory processing differences, and PDA profiles are not disorders to be corrected. They are valid, valuable ways of being human — and our environment, our programmes, and our relationships are designed around neurological diversity, not despite it.
Identity-First · Social Model of DisabilityThrive is a whole-setting relational approach grounded in the neuroscience of attachment. It gives our therapists and therapy assistants a shared language and framework for understanding the social and emotional needs behind children's behaviour — and practical tools to meet those needs through the quality of daily relationship and interaction.
Thrive · Attachment & NeurosciencePlay is the primary language of childhood. Our therapeutic play practice — informed by Tacpac (Touch and Communication Approaches in Play and the Performing Arts with Children) — provides children with structured, boundaried, and non-directive opportunities to process their experiences, build trust, and develop emotional literacy through the medium that comes most naturally to them: play.
Tacpac · Therapeutic Play · Non-DirectiveIndividual play therapy sessions are offered within the hub by our qualified Play Therapist. These are planned, purposeful therapeutic encounters — distinct from general therapeutic play — where a child is offered a consistent, private, and boundaried relationship with their therapist as the primary medium for healing and growth.
Individual Therapy · Therapeutic Relationship🌿 Our Therapeutic Framework
Our therapeutic offer is broad, balanced, and deeply personalised — every part of it held within a therapeutic frame. The work is real and meaningful at Reign, but we never push a child when their nervous system is not ready. Regulation always comes first. Every session is shaped around the child's sensory profile, communication needs, and emotional state.
Shared stories, expressive language, AAC, Makaton, and communication across all modalities. Adapted for every communication profile.
Practical number confidence embedded in real-life contexts — cooking, shopping, money, measuring, and problem-solving together.
Curiosity-led thematic work — nature, people, places, and how things work — woven through meaningful, child-led topics.
Art, music, drama, and creative media — therapeutic and expressive. Often the first doorway back into connection for a child who has withdrawn.
Forest play, horticulture, nature-based therapy, and adventure activities. The outdoors as one of our most regulating therapeutic spaces.
Cooking, budgeting, travel, self-care, and independent living — building genuine capability for adulthood, not just certificates.
My Regulation Zones, emotional literacy, social skills, mindfulness, and structured therapeutic check-ins throughout each day.
Progress captured through the Reign Growth Tree — regulation, communication, relationships, and independence, measured from each child’s own baseline.

🗣️ Communication & SALT at Reign
At Reign, Speech and Language Therapy looks different from a traditional timetabled therapy model. Our focus is not on helping a child get through a set task — it is on helping a young person access life: relationships, independence, the community, and eventually the world of work. Here we explain what that means in practice, and how it maps across our three pathways.
| 🕒 A Timetabled Therapy Model | 🌿 At Reign Therapeutic Hub |
|---|---|
| Supports access to a set programme of tasks | Supports access to life, relationships, independence and vocational activities |
| Focus on communication in one room | Focus on real-world communication in everyday contexts |
| Works heavily around a fixed timetable | Works heavily around functional living skills and independence |
| Supports task-related language | Supports emotional regulation and social communication |
| Therapy delivered in separate, timetabled blocks | Therapy embedded into daily activities and community experiences |
| Focus on hitting written targets | Focus on independence, employability and wellbeing |
| Supports adults to adapt set activities | Supports our therapists and therapy assistants to adapt communication across every activity and space |
Can this child follow the instructions in the room? Can they complete the set language tasks and vocabulary work? Can they meet the targets written on the plan?
"Compare and contrast these two stories." · "Write a paragraph explaining your answer."
The focus: helping the child get through the task.
Can this young person…
The focus: helping the young person access life.
For pre-verbal and early communicators. SALT at Roots is about building the foundations: safety in communication, trust in adults, and first expressions of need.
For emerging communicators building social, emotional, and relational language. Many Branches young people are non speaking but communicate in many other ways, while developing the social and emotional dimensions of communication.
Communication for adulthood. Bloomers SALT focuses on the real-world, vocational, and everyday contexts that will define our young people's lives after Reign.
Many of our young people have communication difficulties linked to anxiety, trauma, or emotional dysregulation. Our SALT works closely with the wider therapeutic team to help everyone around a child understand that:
Our SALT works alongside our Play Therapist, occupational therapists, therapy assistants, and Thrive practitioners to help young people develop safer, more effective ways to communicate their distress — and to ensure every adult around them can hear and respond to what is being said, even without words.
"The goal is not to help a young person get through a worksheet. It is to help them communicate effectively, regulate themselves, build relationships, participate in their community, and move towards greater independence."
— Reign Therapeutic Provision · Communication & SALT Philosophy
🎭 Play Therapy at Reign
In many settings, play is a break from the real work. At Reign, play is the work. Our qualified Play Therapists use play as the natural language through which children process trauma, build trust, and make sense of their world. This isn't a club or a reward for good behaviour — it is planned, clinical, relationship-based therapy woven through every day. Here is what that looks like, and how it differs from play used simply as a break or a reward.
| 🕒 Play as a Break or Reward | 🌿 Play Therapy at Reign Therapeutic Hub |
|---|---|
| Play used mainly as a break or reward | Play used as the primary therapeutic medium, every day |
| Delivered by whichever adult is free | Delivered and overseen by qualified Play Therapists |
| Focus on social skills for the room | Focus on processing trauma, building safety and trust |
| Often adult-directed and goal-led | Child-led and non-directive — the child sets the pace |
| Squeezed around a fixed timetable | Embedded from the minute a child arrives to when they leave |
| Progress measured by behaviour in the room | Progress measured through the Reign Growth Tree — regulation, expression, and connection |
| Stops when the next activity starts | Therapeutic play continues across the whole provision and community |
Structured playtime to practise turn-taking, a social-skills group at lunch, or a reward activity once the work is finished.
"Finish your task and then you can play." · "Let's practise sharing in our group."
The focus: helping the child behave and get through the day.
For our earliest communicators. Play at Roots builds the felt sense of safety and the first trusting bond with an adult — the foundation for everything else.
For children building relationships and emotional language. Play at Branches helps young people process experiences, express feelings, and rehearse the social world safely.
For young people preparing for adulthood. Play and creative therapy at Bloomers supports identity, confidence, and processing the transition towards independence.
“A child’s play is not just play. It is the truest expression of who they are, what they carry, and who they are becoming — and our job is to listen.”
— Reign Therapeutic Provision · Play Therapy Philosophy
🖐️ Occupational Therapy at Reign
In a task-focused model, Occupational Therapy (OT) often means helping a child hold a pencil, sit at a table, or cope with the demands of a busy room. At Reign, our Occupational Therapists work on something bigger: a child's ability to occupy their own life — to regulate their sensory system, care for themselves, and do the everyday things that make a life their own. Here is what that looks like in practice.
| 🕒 A Task-Focused OT Model | 🌿 OT at Reign Therapeutic Hub |
|---|---|
| Helps a child manage a table and a set task | Helps a young person access life, independence and the community |
| Focus on fine motor and handwriting for set tasks | Focus on regulation, daily living and functional independence |
| Sensory strategies aimed at sitting still and attending | Sensory integration woven through the whole day and environment |
| Often a visiting service, seen occasionally | Part of the team around the child, informing every space and routine |
| Targets tied to task participation | Targets tied to self-care, life skills and preparation for adulthood |
| Equipment and adaptations for the table | Sensory diets, regulation tools and adapted environments everywhere |
| Reviewed against task completion | Reviewed through the Reign Growth Tree — regulation, independence and wellbeing |
Can this child grip a pencil, sit still at a table, manage their coat and belongings, and cope with the sensory demands of a busy room?
"Let's work on handwriting and sitting at the table." · "Use this wobble cushion at the table."
The focus: helping the child get through the task.
For our earliest-stage young people. OT at Roots is about a regulated sensory system and a felt sense of safety — the foundation a child needs before anything else can grow.
For children growing in confidence. OT at Branches builds the practical, everyday independence that opens up relationships, confidence, and the community.
For young people preparing for adulthood. OT at Bloomers focuses on the functional independence and life skills that will define their lives beyond Reign.
“Occupational therapy isn’t about fitting a child to a desk. It is about giving a young person the regulation, skills and confidence to occupy their own life — fully, safely, and on their own terms.”
— Reign Therapeutic Provision · Occupational Therapy Philosophy
🛠️ Specialist Services
Our therapeutic offer is woven into the fabric of every day — not timetabled as an extra or delivered in a separate room by a separate team. These specialist services are delivered by qualified practitioners within our hub, and several are also available externally to other settings, local authorities, and organisations.
Direct therapeutic play work delivered by our qualified Play Therapist. Child-centred, non-directive sessions provide a safe, boundaried space for children to process their experiences, build self-regulation, and develop emotional literacy. Individual assessment reports for MDTs and placing authorities.
Specialist Social, Emotional and Mental Health support integrated throughout all placements — structured SEMH programmes, individual therapist relationships, emotional literacy work, My Regulation Zones implementation, and close liaison with CAMHS and external mental health services.
OT-informed sensory support including bespoke sensory diets, our dedicated regulation room, and individual sensory profiling for every young person. Environments designed with sensory needs at the centre — reducing overwhelm and supporting regulation throughout the whole day.
Equine therapy sessions are part of our provision, delivered through our dedicated off-site programme. Particularly transformative for young people with trauma histories, attachment difficulties, and significant SEMH needs — providing regulation, relationship, and confidence in a wholly different and deeply moving environment.
On-site Speech and Language Therapy support, AAC assessment and implementation, Makaton throughout, visual schedules, and total communication environments. Pre-verbal and non-speaking young people are fully accommodated — our spaces speak even when children cannot.

👦 Who We Serve
Reign accepts referrals for children and young people with complex and often overlapping needs. We are built for the young people who have not been well-served elsewhere — those for whom other environments have felt too much, too fast, or simply too overwhelming.
Including PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) profiles. Our neuro-affirmative, demand-flexible approach makes Reign a genuine fit for autistic young people for whom other environments have felt overwhelming or distressing. We start from a simple belief: a young person is never the problem — what matters is the fit between them and the space around them.
Children whose energy, impulsivity, and attention differences have led to exclusion, underachievement, or disengagement. We work with their neurology — not against it — through active, practical, movement-integrated therapeutic work that respects how their brains are wired.
Children with adverse childhood experiences including abuse, neglect, domestic violence, bereavement, or multiple placement breakdowns. Our whole-hub therapeutic model makes Reign a place of genuine relational repair — where healing is not a side effect of something else. It is the whole point.
Young people for whom anxiety, shame, sensory overwhelm, or past traumatic experiences of school have made attendance feel impossible. Our graded, child-led, pressure-free approach rebuilds safety and confidence at each child's own pace — not the system's.
Young people with significant emotional and mental health needs who need a consistent, boundaried, therapeutically aware environment. We hold complexity without pathologising it — meeting each young person with curiosity and care, not categories and consequences.
A key strength of a therapeutic hub is that we can support young people who do not yet have an EHCP in place. Children awaiting assessment, awaiting a specialist placement, or in a period of transition can access Reign's full therapeutic offer from Day 1 — no child waits for support while paperwork catches up.
We carry out thorough pre-admission assessments to ensure Reign is the right environment for each young person. All placements are planned in partnership with the family and, wherever possible, the child themselves.
👥 Our People

🌳 The Reign Growth Tree
Progress is not the same for every child — and it should never be measured as if it were. At Reign we use an attuned, neuro-affirming framework rather than rigid, one-size-fits-all targets. A child who is engaging, who is more regulated, who is beginning to trust the adults around them — that is progress, and we know how to evidence it.
Every child's growth is measured through the Reign Growth Tree Framework™ (RGT) — our Reign Outcomes Framework (ROF) — which mirrors our three pathways and is reviewed regularly with families and placing authorities.
Emotional regulation · feeling safe · managing anxiety · accepting adult support · managing sensory needs · attendance and engagement. The foundations every child needs before anything else can grow.
Communication · peer relationships · trust in adults · turn taking · conflict resolution · community participation. Connection, expressed and measured on the child's own terms.
Life skills · cooking · money awareness · problem solving · self care · preparation for adulthood. Growth that points towards a genuine, hopeful future.
Each outcome area is scored from a child's own baseline on a 0–5 scale — from significant support required through emerging and developing consistency to consistently achieved — so progress is always measured against where that child started, never against an arbitrary norm.
Alongside the pathway domains, each young person has individual therapeutic goals informed by Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS) — goals set in the child's own words, scored from "no progress" through "expected outcome achieved" to "exceptional progress".
Every young person rates their own wellbeing on the Therapeutic Wellbeing Star — happiness, confidence, friendships, managing feelings, independence, and future aspirations — alongside therapy-specific outcomes such as emotional literacy, self-esteem, resilience, and the ability to ask for help.
Our therapists and therapy assistants capture observations, photos, videos, session notes, life-skills achievements, and the young person's voice in Tapestry, tagged to Roots, Branches, and Bloom — so every progress report is built on real, dated evidence rather than recollection.
Scores combine into an overall Reign impact picture with a simple RAG-plus-Gold rating — from significant concerns through progress emerging and good progress to exceptional progress — and every report includes the young person's voice, parent and carer voice, and practitioner observations.
RGT reports are designed to slot directly into EHCP annual reviews, CLA and social care reviews, therapy reports, and commissioning reports — and to demonstrate meaningful progress even for children attending a small number of sessions per week.
Attendance is tracked daily from the first session and reported at every regular review. For children arriving after an extended absence or emotionally based school avoidance, re-engagement is measured from each child's individual baseline — never a national average.
Where moving on to another setting is the goal, a planned, graded transition pathway is built into the placement from the start — with progress against it reviewed regularly and shared openly with the family and the placing authority.
Reign Growth Tree domains are mapped directly to each child's Education, Health and Care Plan outcomes. We contribute evidence to every annual review, documenting progress in communication, regulation, SEMH, and independence.
Every child has a communication baseline on entry — spoken language, AAC, Makaton, or pre-verbal communication. Progress is assessed by our SALT-led team and evidenced in individual communication profiles, MDT reports, and review documentation.
Families are asked for structured feedback at every regular review, not just at the end of a placement. Parent and carer voice is recorded, reported to placing authorities, and used directly to shape each child's therapeutic programme.
Anonymised case studies evidencing each child's journey — from referral through regulation, engagement, and progression — are available to commissioners and placing authorities on request, with full consent from families.
"We measure what matters — attuned to each child, never to a checklist. If something isn't working, families and commissioners hear it from us first."

We understand that finding the right placement is one of the most important — and often most stressful — things a family or professional will navigate. Our process is honest, unhurried, and collaborative. We will never accept a placement that isn't the right fit, and we will always tell you clearly if we think another provision would better serve a young person.
Call or email — no forms, no referral packs required at this stage. Just a real conversation. We'll listen to what's happening for this child, share what Reign can offer, and be honest about whether we're likely to be a good fit. Same-day response for urgent situations.
With consent, we review existing documentation — the Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) if in place, reports from previous settings, CAMHS correspondence, and any earlier therapeutic or specialist provision reports. This builds a holistic picture before we meet the child. Missing documentation won't delay an initial conversation.
The family and child visit at their own pace — no pressure, no performance. We spend time together, show them the spaces, and begin the relationship that will hold everything else. Our therapists carry out an initial holistic assessment informed by this visit.
For LA-directed placements, a commissioning agreement specifying duration, objectives, review dates, and funding. For placements commissioned by a referring setting, a service agreement is signed. No placement begins without the right paperwork in place.
We co-create a personalised transition plan with the child, family, and placing authority — pre-visits, a phased start, home-link sessions, or a smaller number of sessions to begin with. Whatever gives this child the best possible beginning at Reign.
The young person joins their pathway and meets their named therapist. Regular reviews ensure the support is working, goals are live, and the transition or progression plan is on track. Families are partners throughout — always.
📋 Who We Accept
Pre-admission assessments ensure Reign is the right environment. All placements are planned in full partnership with the family and, wherever possible, with the child themselves.
