We support parents to recognise the needs of their child through example and demonstration, education, observation and positive encouragement. Our aim is for each parent to achieve for their children the five outcomes detailed in Every Child Matters: being healthy, staying safe, enjoying and achieving, making a positive contribution and economic well-being. This is achieved through a variety of models and tools used and developed by this Unit.

Browning House is an Ofsted regulated Unit which promotes and assesses parenting skills - we aim to ensure the protection and safety of children by offering parents a role model and training, to enable them to care themselves for their children within the community.

• Our aim is to balance the need for child protection with the freedom and human rights of the parents. We provide this with our multi-skilled team's flexible response to the needs of individual parents, developing programmes and care plans that cover all aspects of parenting, protection and social skills.
• Work in partnership with families and other professionals where children are at serious risk.
• Browning House actively promotes equal opportunities for all, believing that every person has the right to freedom from any level of discrimination. Our staff provide a supportive advocacy role to parents and work hard to develop relationships based on trust and honesty. 
• Provide detailed independent objective assessments and reports for referral agents including Social Service Departments, Legal Services and the Courts. 
• Are fully committed to developing a national flexible framework of good practice standards for the provision of services to children and families in the fields of assessment and parenting.
• Provide specialised flexible assessment programmes for parents and children where there are serious child protection issues.
• Offer intensive multi-disciplinary professional support, assessment and rehabilitation providing regular reviews for all agencies and court reports.
• Browning House considers that every child has the right to expect a level of parenting adequate to meet that child’s physical, emotional and social needs and it is within this remit that parents are assessed. 
• The assessment process benefits both parents and children and is a structured approach for the preparation of reports requested by the referral agents, to be used within Court proceedings. 
• Browning House places the safety and well being of the children first; they are our paramount concern.
