About Us

Encouraging change, Strengthening bonds

Who Are We?

The name ‘Khin’ derives from the word, ‘Kin’, which means related. At Khin, we recognise the importance of family. Our aim is to strengthen and keep families together, however, we understand that while the Children Act 1989 recognises that the child is best placed with the birth family, that is not always the case, particularly for those children at risk of harm, and it is this that forms the basis of our overall decison making.

Khin was founded by four family members in 2020; Princess Peterkin, Karen Hill, Daniella Bissember, and Hugh Hill, who each have between 15-30 years experience in the social work field, specifically working with Children, Young People, and Families with complex needs, in residential settings. In addition to having social work qualifications, Daniella and Princess are also Child and Adolescent Psychotherapists, having studied at Master’s level at Roehampton University. Karen and Hugh also specialise in Domestic Violence, having both been awarded IDVA qualifications in Tackling and Preventing Domestic Abuse.

Khin adopts an integrative approach to assessments, using child development, systems, psychodynamic and social learning theories as its foundations. Khin works within diverse family structures, through observational, nurturing, and teaching techniques. Also, through recognition of everyone as a product of their ecological systems, which are interrelated and influence development.

Our Staff

With a focus on the concept of “good enough parenting” and maintaining a “facilitating environment” (Winnicott, 1988) for children to thrive, Khin was founded with the aim to keep the relationship between caregiver and child at its forefront, seeking to promote adequately attuned parenting that prioritises the needs of the child/ren.

Khin’s staff team have a wide variety of specialisms and skills, primarily within social work, social care, childcare and mental health. All staff members have been trained in ‘Parent Assess’, which is an award winning, strength based, comprehensive assessment framework for parents who have learning disabilities or additional needs. Khin is one of the few residential assessment centres who specialise in using the parent assess framework, and are advocates for its dynamic, service user friendly approach.

Khin is a registered company in line with the requirements of the Care Standards Act 2000 [CSA 2000] and was first registered by Ofsted on 17.03.2022. Khin’s Ofsted registration number is: 2660019.

Khin Family Services first began accepting families in April 2022. Within just four months of opening, Khin was inspected by Ofsted. Ofsted found Khin to be a “Good” service across all areas, citing that “children’s welfare is central to the work that the staff do”, and our “parenting assessments are of a good quality and a strong area of practice for all staff”.

Safeguarding Statement

Safeguarding children, young people and vulnerable adults

 

Safeguarding is at the heart of all Khin Family Services activities and interventions. 

 

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. This policy applies to anyone working for or on behalf of Khin Family Services, including senior managers, board members, paid staff, volunteers, sessional workers, agency staff, students and consultants. All workers will be expected to adopt a child centred approach, considering at all times what is in the best interest of the child.

 

We will work together with the Local Authority, commissioning groups, police and health care professionals to safeguard and promote the welfare of the children, young people, and families.



Purpose 

  • To protect children, young people & vulnerable adults from maltreatment. 
  • To prevent impairment of children’s mental and physical health and/or development.
  • To ensure children can grow up in an environment consistent with the provision of safe and effective care.
  • To enable children to have optimum opportunities to achieve best outcomes in adulthood. To provide staff and volunteers, as well as children and their families, with the overarching principles that guide our approach to children protection and the protection of vulnerable adults. 

 

This includes the children of adults who use our services. 

 

We believe that:

  • Children, young people and families should never experience abuse of any kind
  • We have a responsibility to promote the welfare of all children and young people, to keep them safe and to practise in a way that protects them.

 

We recognise that:

  • The welfare of children is paramount in all the work we do and in all the decisions we take. 
  • All children, regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation, have an equal right to protection from all types of harm or abuse
  • Some children are additionally vulnerable because of the impact of previous experiences, their level of dependency, communication needs or other issues
  • Working in partnership with children, young people, their parents, carers and other agencies is essential in promoting young people’s welfare.

 

We will seek to keep children, young people and families safe by:

  • Providing a safe environment in which children, young people and families can thrive.
  • Recruiting and selecting staff and volunteers safely. This includes ensuring that all necessary verifications are made.
  • Recognising that sharing information in a timely manner, particularly with safeguarding partner agencies and other professionals, is crucial in identifying and tackling all forms of abuse and neglect.
  • Using our safeguarding and child protection procedures to share concerns and relevant information with agencies who need to know, and involving children, young people, parents, families and carers appropriately.
  • Understanding that fears about sharing information must not be allowed to supersede our duty to safeguard children and young people. The Data Protection Act (DPA) 2018 and GDPR do not prevent, or limit, the sharing of information for the purposes of keeping children safe. 
  • Sharing information about safeguarding and good practice with children and families via leaflets, posters, group work and one-to-one discussions
  • Valuing, listening to and respecting children, young people and families. 
  • Ensuring that all staff are able to recognise physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, and neglect as well as safeguarding issues. 
  • Appointing designated safeguarding individuals for managing safeguarding concerns regarding children, young people and families.
  • Ensuring that all workers are aware of the role of DSL, including how and when to contact them.
  • Adopting child protection and safeguarding best practices through our policies, procedures and code of conduct for staff and volunteers
  • Developing and implementing an effective online safety policy and related procedures
  • Providing effective management for staff and volunteers through supervision, support, training and quality assurance measures so that all staff and volunteers know about and follow our policies, procedures and codes of conduct confidently and competently. Also, so that staff may be adequately prepared to identify and respond to varying levels of need. 
  • Recording, storing and using information professionally and securely, in line with data protection legislation and guidance 
  • Making sure that children, young people and their families know where to go for help if they have a concern
  • Using our procedures to manage any allegations against staff and volunteers appropriately
  • Creating and maintaining an anti-bullying environment and ensuring that we have a policy and procedure to help us deal effectively with any bullying that does arise
  • Ensuring that we have effective complaints and whistleblowing measures in place
  • ensuring that we provide a safe physical environment for our children, young people, staff and volunteers, by applying health and safety measures in accordance with the law and regulatory guidance
  • Building a safeguarding culture where staff and volunteers, children, young people and their families, treat each other with respect and are comfortable about sharing concerns.

 

Legal framework and good practice guidance 

This policy is based on legislations, policies and guidance that seek to protect children in England, including:

 

  • The Children Act 1989 (and 2004 amendment), which gives a broad framework for the care and protection of children and includes provision for Local Authority inquiries, care proceedings, and emergency provisions. 
  • The rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 which outlines provisions for when people with criminal convictions can work with children. 
  • The Education Act 2002.

 

It also incorporates the recommendations of “Freedom to Speak Up”, commissioned by the Secretary of State and chaired by Sir Roberts Francis QC. 

 

Khin Family Services will ensure that all employees are made fully aware of Khin Family Services’s expectation that they will come forward, speak up and raise concerns, and also that they know how to do this outside the organisational structure. 

 

This policy includes the recommendations and good practice defined in ‘working together to safeguard children’ :

  • Protecting children from maltreatment
  • Preventing impairment of children’s health or development
  • Ensuring that children are growing up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care
  • Taking action to enable all children to have the best outcomes

 

This policy incorporates safeguarding vulnerable adults as defined in the Care and support statutory guidance issued under the Care Act 2014 including:

  • Protecting the rights of adults to live in safety, free from abuse and neglect
  • People and organisations working together to prevent and stop both the risks and experience of abuse or neglect
  • People and organisations making sure that the adult’s wellbeing is promoted including, where appropriate, taking fully into account their views, wishes, feelings and beliefs in deciding on any action
  • Recognising that adults sometimes have complex interpersonal relationships and may be ambivalent, unclear or unrealistic about their personal circumstances and therefore potential risks to their safety or well-being
