Specially designed accommodation and support
The Woodford Park Project opened in 2008 as part of a major resettlement scheme for people who were patients at long stay hospitals. Each property has been extensively adapted to provide an appropriate therapeutic environment using assistive technologies to promote safety. All our adaptations are unobtrusive, so each house is still a comfy home.
Our staff are highly trained in supporting people with complex needs and behaviours, including (but not limited to):
- Ritualistic behaviour
- Autism
- LD related conditions
Each team member has received industry-standard training in positive behaviour support, including (but not limited to):
- RESPECT®
- Safe physical intervention
- All mandatory training
How we operate the service
Fairways manages The Woodford Project in partnership with a large multidisciplinary network, including the Northern Trust Social Work Department and the Positive Behaviour Support Service. We are committed to continually developing approaches and methods of intervention aimed at reducing frequency, severity and impact of behaviours that concern, empowering our service users to experience independent living in a safe, supportive community.
Quality of care
Our internal surveys and external inspection reports illustrate the very highest quality of service-user focused care.
The Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority (RQIA) is the independent body responsible for monitoring and inspecting the availability and quality of health and social care services in Northern Ireland, and encouraging improvements in the quality of those services.
