We don’t believe in using caged vehicles and instead work on building rapport with the young person to make them feel comfortable, safe and secure.
Our Approach
Every young person will be treated with respect and dignity. We pride ourselves on our preventative strategies to avoid restrictive practices, however, all staff are trained to use physical intervention strategies if necessary to ensure the safety of the young person. We will provide the necessary care to meet their needs working in line with their care plan to deliver the best possible service.
We work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. We pride ourselves on our fast response times and guarantee to dispatch a team within two hours of receiving a booking.
At UK Patient Care we are committed to providing a reliable and professional service that puts the safety and well-being of young people first. Contact us today to learn more about our services and how we can support your transportation needs.
