our vision
At Polaris, our vision and ambition is to transform the future of children’s services and improve outcomes for every child we support.
Our experiences through childhood shape our whole lives and the people we become. It is every child’s right to be supported by a sense of safety and security, a nurturing environment, and compassionate care – whether this is in the home, the community or in their education. Our services, led by an established and diverse team of professionals, provide children with exceptional care throughout the fostering, adoption, therapy and education sectors. We want to inspire and support our children and young people so they can shape a future for themselves, full of choice and opportunity.
“At the very heart of our Polaris Community is a common aim where everyone is committed to enabling every child and young person in our care to reach their full potential. We are ambitious for ourselves and our children. I am exceptionally proud that I am surrounded by an inspirational team of staff and families who are completely committed to making a difference and to achieve the best outcomes for children across the UK.”
