At Orchard Therapeutic Care, we believe that no young person should stand alone. Progress is always stronger when support networks work together, which is why we take a holistic, multi-agency approach to care.

Working in Partnership

We work closely with:

• Families and carers – ensuring the people who know a young person best are heard and involved.

• Commissioners and local authorities – developing tailored support packages that meet statutory requirements and individual needs.

• Health and social care professionals – including GPs, therapists, counsellors and social workers, to provide joined-up wellbeing support.

• Education and training providers – creating opportunities for learning, qualifications and work experience, particularly through our link with Orchard Therapeutic Farm.

Why Collaboration Matters

Young people often face challenges that cross many areas of life: emotional wellbeing, health, education, relationships and independence. By fostering strong partnerships, we ensure that:

• Support plans are coordinated and not fragmented.

• Each professional brings their specialist insight to the young person’s journey.

• Families feel included rather than excluded from decision-making.

• Young people benefit from a consistent, joined-up experience where everyone is working towards the same goals.

The Difference for Young People

Collaboration means every young person is supported by a network of care, not just one service. They can move forward knowing that their voice is central, their needs are understood, and their team is working together to help them thrive.
