Who Are OSEQ?
OSEQ is a passionate and dedicated team focused on delivering exceptional support to children. Our mission is to guide them toward a successful transition into adulthood by providing the essential skills, tools, and knowledge they need to thrive. We specialize in offering high-quality care to children navigating a range of behavioural and emotional challenges, tailoring our approach through carefully crafted, personalized care plans. At OSEQ, we are committed to empowering each child with the resources and encouragement they need to grow into confident, responsible individuals.
A Heartfelt Greeting
As you step into our home, you’ll be embraced by a peaceful and sensory-rich atmosphere, created through thoughtfully chosen décor, gentle furnishings, and ambient lighting all essential for fostering a therapeutic space
Personalized Care Planning
Each care plan is uniquely designed for every young person, with their active involvement to ensure their voice is valued and heard.
Parental Involvement
Whenever possible, we value the active participation of parents, as it benefits both the children and us. Collaboration fosters stronger outcomes for children and their families. At Hamann Care, our ‘Parent Plan’ is an integral part of our holistic approach.
Specialist Team
Our team members are carefully selected through a rigorous recruitment process, with children actively participating in interview questions and the final stage visit. All staff receive high-level training and continue to expand their skills year after year.
Child-Centered Approach
Our professional psychotherapist tailors their methods to suit each child’s unique needs. We provide support for a wide range of challenges, including anger management, self-esteem, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, relationship difficulties, and bereavement — and much more.
Therapeutic approach
If the child is not ready to engage in direct therapy with our psychotherapist, they will give therapeutic input in the young persons report and direction is given to the staff team which they can put into their practice and constant guidance is given.

The Children We Care For
We strive to work alongside our young people to create safe, supportive relationships built on trust, affection, and comfort.

Structured Assessment Approach
Stage 1
Pre-Admission Meeting
This meeting is to determine whether it is in the best interests of the child to be placed. Impact Risk Assessment analysed and a final decision to be made in regards to the allocation of the placement.
Stage 2
Placement Meeting
(72 Hours)
When the child is admitted. Initial Care plan discussed and agreed.
Stage 3
Placement Review
About a month after admission, each young person will have a Placement Review to assess progress, ensure the care plan is effective, and discuss ongoing treatment and support. Reviews will be held regularly.
Stage 4
Looked After Children Review (L.A.C./ C.L.A)
Meetings are held after 4 weeks, at 3 months, and every 6 months thereafter to review the young person’s care plan, progress, concerns, and agree on actions.
After Admission is Agreed
At our homes, we prioritise the comfort and well-being of every child in our care. Before their arrival, we ensure their bedroom is clean, cosy, and inviting. A dedicated key worker is assigned to provide personalised support, and an informal meeting with this key worker is scheduled promptly. To help children understand life in our home, we provide them with a comprehensive children’s guide. If the child is content with the arrangements, we work collaboratively with them, their social worker, and key worker to create a smooth transition plan. Throughout this process, we remain vigilant and adaptable, assessing any unforeseen risks.
Once everything aligns seamlessly, we proceed with the placement. Our children’s guide is a valuable resource, offering insights into daily routines, allowances, communication, activities, education, and channels for addressing concerns. We encourage children to ask questions, meet their fellow residents, and become acquainted with our caring staff. On the child’s first day, an induction checklist is completed, ensuring a smooth start to their journey with us. Rest assured, we also safeguard their personal belongings and healthcare needs, making their transition to our home as seamless and comfortable as possible.
Within 7 days of the placement starting there should be a placement planning meeting involving the home, the child, their family, and the placing authority. This could extend to 7 days if the young person’s social worker had to travel far.
The purpose of the placement planning meeting is:
- To formally reiterate the importance of the child having a voice in the process of planning for their future
- To ensure no vital information has been missed in the matching and subsequent placement behaviours
- To clearly set out from the start the specific expectations of the placement
- To establish the exact level of support/interaction expected of the Social Worker and placing authority
- To establish placement targets and goals and ensure the child is aware of these expectations
- To summarise for the child the expectations of group living and school attainments at the home
