What we do
What We Do
🦋Our vision is to break the cycle of intergenerational trauma.
Our Mission
Our mission is to keep children in the child protection system safe from harm. At New Beginnings, we believe that by building meaningful relationships based on trust, respect and honesty, we can support parents to break the cycle of intergenerational trauma.
We are an independent charity that works in partnership with children’s services. This gives us the independence and flexibility to tailor innovative therapeutic services to meet the needs of our families, while maintaining a strong commitment to tackling the issues families in the child protection system face.
We recognise that relationships between families and professionals can become polarised due to the context of the child protection system. We therefore work to improve communication between parents and social workers through representation and advocacy.
Our Promises
- We go the extra mile for our families.
- We never say “goodbye”; we are there when needed.
- We are passionate about achieving the best possible outcomes for parents and their children.
- For children to feel safe at home, we remember that parents were once children too.
- We embrace diversity and champion inclusion.
- We value difference in our workforce and in the families we work with.
- We celebrate identity so individual needs can be met.
- We nurture strong relationships with families and professionals.
- We create safe, supportive spaces where authentic participation is possible.
- We invest in our staff so they can be the transitional attachment figure families need to change.
- We give our team the same love, care and compassion we give our families.
The Core Programme
A 24-week trauma-informed journey: group sessions, 1:1 keywork, Video Interaction Guidance, and parental representation.
Parents explore where they’ve been, where they are now, and what it will take to move forward—building safety, skills, and stronger relationships along the way.
Post-Programme Support
Recovery doesn’t end at 24 weeks. Ongoing pathways include Peer Mentoring, SMART, Survivors, Rolling Cohort, and Happy Homes.
We stay with families for the long term—building community, confidence, and stability while keeping children’s safety at the centre.
