Autism Network
This online event is for autistic people we support and autistic employees. Parents, siblings and carers are also welcome.
We currently support children and adults in Hemel Hempstead, St Albans, Wheathampstead and the surrounding areas.
Within our Registered Care homes, we provide care and support for adults with learning disabilities.
One house in St Albans is dual registered, providing accommodation, care, nursing and support for up to 12 people with learning and physical difficulties.
Our staff receive training in subjects including safeguarding, health and safety, medicines, and specific health conditions including epilepsy, and we ensure the people we support have access to health and social care professionals when required, including GPs, occupational therapists, chiropodists and psychiatrists.
I am always involved in the planning and care of my relative. If there are any concerns, the staff team ring me or email me, and vice versa.

I think the home is very well managed. The staff are dedicated and care of the residents is first and foremost with them.

In Supported Living in Hertfordshire we support over 40 adults with a learning disability or autism. We adopt a person centred approach; taking time to get to know each individual and what is important to them. People who draw on support are encouraged to express their views and be actively involved in decision making about their care and support.
We have one children’s home in Hertfordshire providing 24/7 care and support for up to six children, including one emergency placement.
The mission of the children’s home at Woodland View is to support the children and young people in acquiring skills and experiences, so that they may take their rightful place in society, feel valued and are contributing members of society. We aim to stabilise the lives of young people that come to live with us, and develop their potential.
Woodland View offers a stable, secure and supportive environment, in which the children we care for can develop the skills and confidence necessary to help them fulfil their potential. We provide individualised and child centred approaches, and work with each young person to build a bespoke package of care.
Woodland View is rated Good by Ofsted. The recent report found
Staff help children to work towards simple and achievable independence targets. Staff encourage children to make choices about their care. One child who struggled to have her hair brushed and washed, now allows staff to help her with daily haircare. This is good progress for the child. Children achieve important targets, to increase their independence and well-being.
