All our young people are individuals with different strengths and weaknesses.
Our aim is to provide you with a homely environment where you can grow and develop in confidence, where you can make friends and have fun, but still have time to concentrate on school work.
To do this we need to:
Keep in contact with home
Respect your rights, especially those of privacy and confidentiality, listen, be sensitive, and provide equal opportunities to everyone in Glencruitten Hostel
Encourage and help you in your school life and work
Provide comfortable accommodation and maintain high standards of cleanliness and safety throughout the building
Offer support to you in aspects of health, hygiene and leisure pursuits
Encourage you to become involved in hostel life and, to be aware of, not only your rights, but also your duties and responsibilities
Provide a secure, supportive environment where you are protected from any form of physical or emotional abuse
To meet these aims, we have to rely on the support, co-operation and goodwill of everyone concerned – staff, young people and parents/guardians
