Cedar House (MV), Quote taken from a recent inspection report.
We’re passionate about making a difference to those we support, educate and care for and through our online tool, My Youth Voice, we have a good understanding of what our children and young people think and feel.
“Our employees work hard to develop and maintain strong and supportive relationships with children. One child informed the inspector that the best thing about the home is the ‘staff’ as they are ‘kind and genuinely care about us.’”

Adult Services goals
In 2020, Options Autism Adult Services began implementing the San Martin Scale, a recognised quality of life goal attainment scale for the people in our care. It is an important step in further supporting the adults who live in our services to increase their independence and work towards attaining a better quality of life. This person-centred approach ensures that we decide targets based on information gathered from the opinions and desires of the people we support, in addition to assessments that are more formal.

Using the San Martin Scale to support Chris
Chris indicated that he would like to start spending time with others and so goals were developed to offer him opportunities to socialise within the comfort of a structured activity.The three areas that Chris chose to work on this year are; making friends, choosing trips and choosing meals. SMART goals were then agreed within these generalised areas. Chris is now attending his choice of vocational sessions with others and staff are looking at involving him in groups with people who have a shared interest.
For the third year running we have achieved a great place to work status.
83% of our employees agreed they were made to feel welcome when they joined the company.
83% felt their contributions were listened to.
94% of our employees are treated fairly regardless of their race
89% of people here are treated fairly regardless of their gender
85% of people said my work has special meaning this is not “just a job”
