Reset Coordinator

Introduction to Reset Reset is a bold new incubation designed to dramatically change the lives of some of the most vulnerable children in England today for the better. Reset exists for children who are on, or at risk of being placed on Deprivation of Liberty orders due to the high risks they face from themselves or others, their complex and intersecting needs, and due to the lack of effective support available. The children Reset will support are likely to be aged 12 to 18 and face complex challenges that often stem from the impact of traumatic childhood experiences, such as mental ill-health, self-harming, being sexually and/or criminally exploited and getting caught in harmful risk-taking behaviours including the use of harmful substances such as drugs and alcohol. Reset is determined to ensure that, wherever possible, children are able to thrive back within their own families and/or communities.
