Red Balloon Norfolk

RBET - Norfolk is a cohesive team of qualified teachers, wellbeing and therapy staff and everyone understands the ethos of our approach. We aim to restore our students’ sense of self-worth and faith in their peers, education staff and the education system as a whole. Our environment supports and encourages good role models so that students can develop relationships that are founded on active listening, speaking the truth, taking responsibility for their actions and acting with integrity. We treat all our young people according to their own unique and individual needs.

At Red Balloon, any adult working with our young people offers warm, non-judgmental support so that they feel accepted, valued, respected and appreciated for who they are. All children at our centre have had traumatic experiences, which means they will show their feelings in a range of ways. We understand that behaviour is an expression of feelings and we help them to express these appropriately, moving on to behaving in a respectful and considerate manner. Through our range of therapy and 1-1 mentoring, we encourage our young people to trust their own perception of what is happening, trust that they can manage their own behaviour and appropriately judge how to behave according to the situation presented.
