Dudley Lodge is a nation-wide resource, and well respected by local authorities, solicitors and Children’s Guardians  both in the Midlands and further afield. We work to agreed Assessment Requirements and aim to tailor all our approaches and interventions  to reflect the needs of each individual family.  Our approach always remains child centred.

We promote a culture which encourages people to be open to new experiences, recognise their strengths and strive to achieve.  This relates to everyone who accesses, and works within, our services.

What Professionals have said about Dudley Lodge

“Staff were able to identify/manage risk in a manner that safeguards others within the centre alongside meeting the needs of the family. The support offered gave the family the very best opportunity to demonstrate and develop their parenting skills. I was very satisfied with the service both the family and I received from Bonner House- excellent multiagency working.” - Local Authority Social Worker

An external Social Worker's experience with Dudley Lodge - "I have found the process of working with Dudley Lodge to run smoothly with good communication and feedback provided throughout the assessment. This ensured that both myself and the family were aware of how the placement was going and what support needed to be provided."
