How The Practice Spotlight is shining the light…
We’re delighted to share that Brandon Centre’s Systemic Integrative Treatment (SIT) has been recognised in the London Children’s Services Spotlight! The Practice Spotlight shines light on the most innovative and impactful practice that is transforming the lives of children and families.
Our SIT programme is highlighted as an example of innovative practice that improves outcomes and delivers value for money for children with complex needs, including those at risk of entering high-cost placements.
SIT is a year-long intensive treatment, designed to keep young people safely at home by working systemically with the trusted adults and systems around them. It supports children experiencing persistent, moderate to severe behaviour challenges by engaging with families, carers, schools, and other services to create lasting, positive change.
- 88% of young people who had been placed in out-of-home care due to challenging behaviours successfully returned to their families.
- 87% of young people were in full-time education by the end of treatment, despite starting with significant educational disengagement or attendance challenges.
- 100% of young people engaged in SIT treatment had no further offences during SIT intervention.
- 84% of families reported their child remaining at home, attending school, and actively participating in education during a six-month post-closure follow-up
