II.1.4) Short description
Herefordshire Council’s overarching vision for looked after children is the same as for all Herefordshire’s children and young people — that we keep them safe and give them a great start in life. However where the needs of a child mean that being accommodated is in their best interests, it is the Council’s aspiration that, unless special exceptional needs are identified, children should be able to benefit from living in a family environment.
In keeping with the vision Herefordshire Council has developed and implemented an intensive therapeutic support service for some of the most challenging children and young people in care within the county. This service consisted of 2 elements:
— Herefordshire Intensive Placement Support Service (HIPSS), and
— Therapeutic Intervention Support Service (TISS).
